| USDA Approved Regulatory Treatments for Gypsy Moth (Christmas Trees) |
|
A regulatory treatment is a mandatory pesticide application required by the USDA and MDA to assure proper control of gypsy moth in what the USDA refers to as "hazardous sites". These are defined as sites where gypsy moth is present on the premises and/or in the surrounding area. The USDA Gypsy Moth Manual includes Christmas tree plantations and nurseries in the hazordous site list. The purpose of this required treatment is to prevent the spread of gypsy moth to non-infested areas. The USDA has approved the following insecticides as acceptable regulatory treatments for use on Christmas trees. Use of an insecticide not on the following list for regulatory treatment will result in denial of certification.

FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES
THAT ALL PESTICIDES MUST BE USED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LABEL DIRECTIONS.
In keeping with labeling requirements, MDA encourages Christmas tree growers to be aware that honeybees may be present in their fields gathering nectar and pollen from wildflowers growing among the trees. Growers should use pesticides and pesticide formulations that are least toxic to bees. Avoid spraying when flowers are in bloom. Make pesticide applications in the late evening or early morning when bees are not foraging.
