Alabama OTPS
The main purpose of the Alabama Pesticide act of 1971 is to regulate
Alabama pesticide act of 1971 the sale, distribution, transportation, and use of all pesticides, with
special emphasis on certain highly toxic and persistent pesticides.
Annual pest on crops in SE Fall armyworms
Azaleas and other shrubs; feed on Billbugs
underside of leaves; look for black
grainy speck of excrement
Biennial broadleaf weed; basal Cudweed
rosette of leaves with grayish-white
appearance; leaves are long,
narrow, and blunt tipped; during
second year, branched flowering
stems produced with small narrow
leaves; flowers are tan to white in
color and appear at the base of the
upper leaves
Biennial broadleaf weed; basal False Dandelion
rosette of round lobed, dissected
leaves; during second year,
branched leafy stem produced with
several yellow flowers; mature seed
head strongly resembles dandelion

Brightly colored flowers and net- Geranium and spurges (examples of broadleafs)
like veins. The network of small
veins are connected to one or
primary veins.
Close relative of scales, feed under Whiteflies
