The registered use of any pesticide is described on its LABEL. One of the best sources for this is http://pr-rp.pmra-arla.gc.ca/portal/page?_pageid=34,17551&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL (click on “Search ELSE”) which is a searchable database where you can enter key words (crop, pest and/or pesticide) and the database will give you the registered pesticides. The “Field Crop Guide to Weed, Disease, Insect, Bird and Rodent Control for Commercial Growers”, last published by the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Lands in 1999/2000, provides options for specific pesticide applications in British Columbia. Always consult the product label for instructions. Information is also available from agri-chemical suppliers and manufacturers. More information on pest and weed management can be found on the Internet at http://www.agf.gov.bc.ca/cropprot/pubs.htm and http://www.weedsbc.ca/.
