Simazine is widely used for preemergence control in field-grown nursery stock in North America. Selective use in container nurseries also has been demonstrated (Ahrens, 1972 Fretz, 1974 Wadsworth, 1975 Bing, 1983). It is less widely used in container-grown nursery production because of potential leaching (Elmore et al., 1976), but is especially effective when applied in the fall or winter to control winter annual weeds in containers. Simazine currently is registered in the United States for 50 species of woody ornamental nursery stock and Christmas trees. Tables 18.1 and 18.2 list selected species of conifers and deciduous ornamental plants, respectively, and their observed tolerance to simazine at rates of 2.2-3.3kg/ha. Information for these tables was obtained from personal observations and the literature, including those references by Ries et al. (1959) Ahrens (1961) Ticknor (1972) and Schubert et al. (1986).

Dimethipin. 2,3-Dihydro-5,6-dimethyl-l,4-dithiin-l,l,4,4-tetraoxide [55290-64-7] (dimethipin, oxidimetbiin, UBI-N252, Harvard) (25) is used as a cotton defoHant and has been used as an experimental desiccant in potato vines. In addition, it defoHates nursery stock, grapes, dry beans, and natural mbber and is used as a desiccant for seed of canola, flax (l lnum usitatlssimum), rice, and sunflower (He/lanthus annuus) (10). The product has been available since the mid-1970s and the experimental work was first reported in 1974 (44). 

High product costs limit distribution to high value crop markets. This includes commercial ornamental production such as nurseries and greenhouses, citms production, and strawberry production. Limited amounts are sold to the consumer lawn and garden market. 

Urea and ammonium sulfate [7783-20-2] are coated by Chisso Co. under the trade names LP Cote and Meister. AH U.S. consumption of these products is sourced from Japan. Chisso-Asahi products are marketed through very specific distribution channels (Table 5). Coated N—P—K products are marketed primarily to commercial nurseries and greenhouses. Coated urea products are marketed in blends to commercial nurseries, as weU as to professional turf and strawberry growers. 

POLYON-coated products are marketed for turf and commercial nursery appHcations and specialty, medium to high cost, agricultural crop appHcations.

There is a view that muffins originated in Wales. They were originally a sour dough flat bread. They seem to have disappeared from British life, except in a nursery rhyme. Presumably the original product had a short shelf life. The sort of product now sold as an English muffin has overcome some of these problems. The modem product is a disc shaped product about 7-10 cm in diameter and 2 cm high. 

As a result, hardware stores and nurseries-the traditional outlets for lawn care products have lost market share in chemical sales-and formulators have come to rely more heavily on a relatively smaller number of larger-scale customers home improvement and mass market retailers. A handful of North American retailers now account for most formulator pesticide sales, and mass sales and bulk wholesaling reduces formulator industry receipts as a result. Ten North American retailers account for 70% of sales from the Scotts Company, for example. Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Lowes, and the recently troubled Kmart provide 60% of sales, with Home Depot alone accounting for 28%. In fact, in 2003 Home Depot declared Scotts partner of the year. Competition among these retailers is intense, however. If any of these customers should falter, formulators will lose important outlets. 

For example, the lack of good alternatives pushed the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1998 to recommend the use of methyl bromide to treat wood packaging materials from China. A voracious, nonnative insect pest had been found in such packaging materials in 14 states around the United States. The Asian beetle had no known U.S. predators and could cost the United States more than 41 billion in lost forest product, commercial fruit, maple syrup, nursery, and tourist industries. This beetle was an extremely serious insect, and methyl bromide was the only known effective insecticide. Heat treatment was also suggested, but it proved to be more difficult and expensive (Morse 1998). Therefore, methyl bromide as an insecticide was receiving a reprieve.

Following the lead provided in 1942 and thereafter by truck gardeners in carrot (S) and parsnip (ff) fields, investigations were started in nursery weed control, involving use of some of the more highly refined petroleum products known as mineral spirits or petroleum spirits. Their common industrial uses are as cleaning naphthas, paint thinners, and solvents. Among trade names of products successfully used in weed control in forest nurseries are Stoddard solvent, Sovasol No. 5, Varsol, Stanisol, Shell solvent, and Sohio weed killer.
