Classes of Insecticides and Miticides for Arthropod Pest Management
Awareness of insecticide and miticide classification has become important in woody ornamental pest management programs. Knowledge and application of different classes of pesticides slows resistance development in pest populations. Insect pests are known to develop resistance to insecticides when they’re used repeatedly. Informed selection of insecticides and miticides will also extend the time period in which these products will be available as effective pest management tools for the green industry.It is important to change classes of pesticides with different modes of action, not just trade names, when managing pest populations. The table below lists insecticides and miticides included in this woody ornamental pest management guide. Use this table as a resource when managing resistance development in the arthropod pest populations that you manage.
