Table 26: Information about Insecticides and Miticides

Pesticides listed in bold were used as examples; their labels and MSDS were consulted for the data given in this table. This information may vary slightly for the other products listed. No preference is indicated by this distinction.

All tolerances for chlorpyrifos in food crops were revoked in 2022, therefore products containing chlorpyrifos (e.g. Lorsban) cannot be applied to any food crop and growers CAN NOT use up existing stock.

The symbol * indicates a federally restricted use pesticide. Unmarked active ingredients may have state restrictions; always check a product's registration status in your state before using.

The symbol OG indicates a pesticide that has been listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) as approved for use in organic production.

Mixtures are listed under all active ingredients and indicated with an (M). 

When tank mixing pesticides, mix in the proper order. The order is Wettable Powders (WP), Water Dispersible Granules (WDG), Flowables (F) (DF) (SC), Water-dispersible liquids (AS), Emulsifiable Concentrates (EC), and Solutions (S). Always follow the pesticide label when using adjuvants such as spreader stickers, surfactants, etc.
