You are responsible for using pes- ticides according to the manufacturer’s current label directions. Follow directions exactly to protect the environment and people from pesticide exposure. Failure to do so violates the law. Note also that this publication is not a complete list of all pesticide labels. Several pesticides are marketed in numerous formulations and the common names of their active ingredients (e.g., atrazine, glyphosate, 2,4-D) are generally recog- nizable. These pesticides are referenced by their common names. The active ingredients in other pesticides may be marketed by multiple compa- nies, but their common names are not generally known by users. For name recognition purposes, these pesticides are referenced by the trade name of the primary registrant, but the common name of the active ingredient is provided as a cross reference for your use. For a listing of common names of pesticides, please refer to appendix tables 1a–c. New to this publication: Highlights of this year’s updates can be found at the end of the book, on page 267. For updates throughout the growing season, consult the Wisconsin Crop Manager newsletter, available online at ipcm.wisc.edu/wcm. Current pesticide labels are available online at www.cdms.net/LabelsMsds/LMDefault.aspx?t= Measurements used in this publication vary according to common usage. In most cases, US customary units (ounces, miles, etc.) are used, and values are expressed in decimals rather than fractions. In a few instances, metric units and/or fractions have been retained to avoid confusion.
