-212- Potential Phytotoxicity of Rimon on Leafy Greens
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction Rimon (novaluron, Chemtura Corp.) is an insect growth regulator with activity against a variety of caterpillar pests and whiteflies. It has shown excellent activity against the diamondback moth and should prove useful in resistance management, once it is labeled on cole crops and greens. Recent research has indicated a potential problem with use of novaluron on some greens, as phytotoxicity has been detected in mustard greens. This problem was increased if novaluron was applied in a tank mix with certain surfactants. These tests were conducted to evaluate the potential phytotoxicity of Rimon on a variety of leafy greens.
