DIAZINON LABEL CHANGE

D·z·n Diazinon 600AG WBC can now be applied in apples no later than petal fall. This restriction is not placed on the 50WP formulation, nor on the use of 600AG in other tree fruit crops.

DON'T BOTHER CALLING

Two of the vendors in our "Sources List" (Tree-Fruit Recommends, p. 86-87) have instituted some marketing changes: Ecogen is no longer selling traps and lures at the retail level, and Necessary Organics is phasing out of pesticides in favor of other crop amendments and supplies.
