Insecticides Pesticide applications wit in the Zoo buildings are under contract to Plunkett's Pest Control Se vice. B. Herbicides 1. Round Up Herbicide Control - Vegetation along perimeter electrical fences in wolf yards. Applied at label reco endations. Conservatory Public Displays - Palm Dome, North & S uth Wings, Fern Room, and #6 House Insecticides once per month (if eeded) and/or during week of show change (South Wing & #6 House) . No her icides, very little fungieides or fertilizers. Very prominent sig age used. During non-public hours only; well ventilated afterward. Growing Greenhouses - #1, #2, #3, #5, 7, #8, and Hoop Houses Fertilizers applied once each we k. Many crops will not grow properly without these regular feedings. Some require special fertilizers, i .e. , to maintain correct soil acidity Very young cuttings and seedlings have the soil media soaked with ungicides to control diseases. Insecticides are applied on an a needed basis. Applications normally occur as a three application ser'es, i .e. , three sprayings over a 10 day period. Herbicides are not used indoors. Outdoor Areas - Japanese Garden and Fl wer Beds Weed control is the most difficult problem in the Japanese Garden. Consequently, herbicide use is mo tly in this area. Use of the garden is carefully controlled during th se times and is limited to May and June. These herbicides are very selecti e and 2, 4, & D types are not used due to the danger to desirable plant aterials. Likewise, insecticides and fungicides are applied only the e rly part of the growing season (May & June) . Flower beds are fertilized at the time of soil preparation (May and June). Herbicides applied are only once fter planting and is limited to a pre- emergency type (prevents weed see from germinating). Other pesticides are seldom used. . . ��p� � Parks and Recreation Division 1988 Pesticide Program Page 9 Conservatory - continued A. Insecticides l. Orthene PT 1300 2. Resmethrin PT 1200 3.
