This publication, New England Integrated Pest Management Scouting Guide for Poinsettias - A Manual for Growers and Scouts, presents the necessary information to develop a Poinsettia IPM Program in an easy-to- use format. Produced by the University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension System, this manual was made possible in part by a grant from the New England Greenhouse Conference Awards Committee and the support of New England Floriculture, Inc.

This 30 page reference manual focuses on scouting and decision making within an IPM program. Key insects, diseases and disorders are featured in 23 color photos with additional black and white line drawings. Information is easily accessible in over 15 tables and charts. Sample scouting forms for use in a monitoring program are included. For aid in prompt diagnosis, a chart of university soil testing and diagnostic laboratories within New England is also included.
