Di-Syston 15 G
In recent extension meetings, I have been telling folks that Di-Syston 15 G will no longer be legal to use after July 31, 2012. This is incorrect. According to documentation provided by Bayer CropScience, "Distributors, retailers and growers can sell and use Di-Syston 15G on Christmas Trees until stocks are exhausted." I apologize for any inconvenience.

Additional Cowles Article
Dr. Cowles sent me another article for everyone to review. It is called, "Optimizing a Basal Bark Spray of Dinotefuran to Manage Armored Scales in Christmas Tree Plantations." Click on this link (the name of the article) to view this pdf file. Be patient, it takes a few moments for it to become clear on your screen.
