Abstract
Urban trees are subject to herbivory by insect pests. To provide stakeholders with efficacious pest
management recommendations for urban landscape plants, it is necessary to test new insecticide
chemistries on these pests. Through collaboration with IR4 my lab group will test the efficacy of
new insecticide chemistries on calico scale (Eulecanium cerasorum) nymphs in honey locust trees
(Gleditsia triacanthos). The data from this experiment will be used to improve and update label
information for existing and new insecticides used on ornamental trees. We will also assess
stakeholder needs after completing the experiment to determine future efficacy testing needs.
