Pesticides used for Ribes must be registered with the state and federal governments. Use Table 6.1.2 to determine legal pesticides, their brand names, and any restrictions that may apply. Unless otherwise noted, use 100 gal water per acre. The products listed in Table 6.4.2 include only those labeled for pests of concern in New York State.
