Integrated Pest Management

Insect and Related Pests of Vegetables
This publication includes a key to identifying insects that can affect vegetable production. Asparagus, beans and peas, carrots, crucifers, cucurbits, eggplant, lettuce, okra, onions, peppers, potatoes, sweet corn, sweetpotatoes, and tomatoes are covered specifically.

Managing Insect Pests of Commercially Grown Crucifers The crucifers include cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, turnips, radishes, kale, rutabaga, mustard, collards, horseradish, and other crucifers. All of the crucifers are subject to attack by insects. Some, such as radishes, can usually be grown without insect damage and others, such as cabbage, must be managed carefully to avoid serious insect damage.
Southeastern U.S. Vegetable Crop Handbook This handbook is updated annually by extension specialists and agents from across the Southeast. Available in hardcopy and online, it includes topics on vegetable production, variety selection, pesticide selection, and alternative pest management tools and more.
