The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for Rimon® Insecticide for the control of tarnished plant bug nymphs on celeriac, greenhouse and outdoor ornamentals, as well as the suppression of whiteflies on greenhouse and outdoor ornamentals in Canada.
Approval for the reduction in damage from carrot weevil on parsnip and celeriac was also approved. Rimon® Insecticide was already labeled for use against a number of pests on a variety of crops in Canada. These minor use projects were submitted by Quebec and Flowers Canada as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.
The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making pest management decisions within a robust integrated pest management program and should consult the complete label before using Rimon® Insecticide.
