  Recommendations of specific chemicals are based upon information on the manufacturer's label and performance in a limited number of trials. Because environmental conditions and methods of application by growers may vary widely, performance of the chemical will not always conform to the safety and pest control standards indicted by experimental data.

  Recommendations for the use of agricultural chemicals are included in this publication as a convenience to the reader. The use of brand names and any mention or listing of commercial products or services in this publication does not imply endorsement by the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service nor discrimination against similar products or services not mentioned. Individuals who use agricultural chemicals are responsible for ensuring that the intended use complies with current regulations and conforms to the product label. Be sure to obtain current information about usage regulations and examine a current product label before applying any chemical. For assistance, contact your county Cooperative Extension agent.

  Some chemicals used for pest control are extremely toxic, whereas others are only moderately or slightly toxic. It is very important that people involved in the application of pesticides or exposed to them before, during or after application take precautions to protect themselves. When appropriate, wear protective clothing and equipment as directed on the pesticide label, and observe all other directions of safe handling and application of the chemical. Make sure that anyone working with the chemicals or spray equipment knows and understands the potential hazards and has adequate protection.
