Reasons for poor use of pesticides

Misdiagnosis of the disease can lead to ineffective treatment. For example, if early leaf fall in fruit trees is mistaken for red spider infestation, or tomato bacterial wilt is misidentified as a soil pest causing root damage and seedling death, the treatment will fail.

Incorrect identification of the problem often results in using the wrong pesticide. For instance, applying Jinggangmycin for wheat scab or Dicofol for armyworm may not be effective, as these products are not suitable for the actual pest or disease present.

Timing is crucial when it comes to pest control. The best results are achieved when treatments are applied at the peak of adult egg-laying or before larvae hatch into their third stage. If the larvae have already grown beyond this stage, the crop may have already suffered serious damage, making it difficult to reverse the situation even with increased pesticide use.

Using too much or too little pesticide can also be harmful. Excessive concentration may cause plant toxicity, while low concentrations may not provide adequate protection. It's essential to follow the instructions on the label and apply pesticides according to recommended guidelines to achieve optimal results.

Targeted application is important for effective pest control. For example, when managing cotton red spider mites, spraying should focus on the underside of leaves where the pests tend to gather. This ensures better coverage and improved control effectiveness.

Environmental conditions significantly affect the performance of pesticides. Factors like temperature, humidity, rain, dew, wind, and sunlight play a key role. For emulsion-based pesticides, it's best to avoid rainfall for at least 24 hours after application. For stomach or contact pesticides, at least two days without rain is ideal to ensure the product works effectively. Always check local weather forecasts and choose the right time to spray for the best outcomes.
