Development of alternatives to insecticide dips for Japanese beetle quarantine procedures |
The objectives of this research are to develop techniques that This research involves testing various application techniques for the control of Japanese beetle grubs in pre- and post-harvest plants, including dipping, drenching, and chemigation. In addition, we are testing reduced-risk insecticides and natural plant-derived materials to determine their efficacy against Japanese beetle grubs. This research is being conducted in commercial nurseries in collaboration with Jason Oliver, Tennessee State University, McMinnville, TN. |
