Pest Alert Update

Missouri received a Special Local Need Registration of TREE-age (emamectin benzoate) for control of emerald ash borer last week, Nov 17, 2008 . We are not recommending preventative treatments for EAB unless it is found at least in the county adjacent or closer. Please contact me for the label details and for any questions about the treatment or recommendations- thank you
