01.01.2022 Oops! Correction notice In the article ‘Pest watch - Autumn’, 2021, Issue 96, pp18, paragraph 3 (print version only), there is an error in the product recommendation for appropriate treatment of citrus leaf miner. Original statement: ‘Citrus leaf miner is a tiny insect that tunnels through the inside of leaves as it feeds. Control infestations of these pests with Searles Conguard or Searles Pest Gun.’... Please note Searles Conguard is NOT registered to be used as a treatment for citrus leaf miner on citrus trees. Searles Pest Gun is registered and safe for treating citrus leaf miner on citrus trees. The correct statement is as follows; ‘Citrus leaf miner is a tiny insect that tunnels through the inside of leaves as it feeds. Control infestations of these pests with Searles Pest Gun.’ This statement has been corrected in the online version of our 2021 Autumn edition. Read new Autumn magazine online https://bit.ly/3uyFc6h
