  • Locate Pesticide Use Limitation Areas (PULAs) Using the EPA’s Bulletins Live! Two Website
    Posted by Stanley Culpepper, Eric Prostko, Taylor Singleton on Jul 30, 2025
    Pesticide applicators should visit the Bulletins Live! Two website to determine if they are located within a pesticide-restricted or limited area, known as a pesticide use limitation area (PULA). These restrictions protect endangered and threatened species from adverse effects. This publication provides users a step-by-step guide on how to navigate this website and access the information needed for applications and recordkeeping.
  • Natural Enemies of Pests in the Southeast Blueberry Systems of Georgia
    Posted by Svoboda Pennisi, Jason Schmidt, Sarah Rezende, Subin Neupane on Sep 12, 2024
    Blueberries are becoming the state fruit of Georgia with considerable acreage planted. Blueberries have many pest challenges and a current invasive pest challenge from spotted wing drosophilia (SWD). While efforts are underway to release new biocontrol agents for SWD, we still know little about the natural enemies in blueberry systems. Here we provide an overview of common natural enemies and conservation strategies for preserving beneficial species in blueberry systems. The work was funded by the NRCS to provide new information on natural enemies and pollinators and help with design and implementation of habitat management concepts.
  • The Intersection of Mosquito Management and Pollinator Protection
    Posted by Elmer Gray, Jennifer Berry on Aug 22, 2024
    Mosquitoes can transmit a wide variety of pathogens and significantly reduce our quality of life with their aggressive biting behavior. On the other end of the spectrum, pollinators are a critical part of our natural environment, contributing significantly to food production and ecological diversity. Honey bees, along with other pollinators, are susceptible to pesticides, and significant bee kills have occurred because of mistimed or misguided pesticide applications. When conducted properly, an integrated pest management approach does not pose a significant risk to honey bee colonies.
