One floral expert has answers about rotating insecticides

"As a researcher and educator, I receive questions that touch on the minutia of how to build a successful insecticide rotation program as I preach and write about the importance of developing a rotation program," said Juang Horng Chong of the Clemson University Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences in a recent post on American Floral Endowment's (AFE) website. "In the simplest terms, rotating pesticides is like playing a game of 'follow the numbers.'"

Some of the recent questions Chong has fielded included:

• Do I need to build a rotation plan for each pest I have in my greenhouse?
• How do I know which mode of action or product to include in my rotation program?
• How do I build a rotation program that won't hurt my biological control agent program?
• When do I need to switch to a new mode of action?
