Chemical Agents (25 points)

For the Unit 4 Assignment, you developed a crop rotation plan. In Unit 5, you reported on biological agents for your plants. For this assignment, you will find chemical agents to control at least two of the specific pests for each of the plants in your crop rotation plan.

- A list of crops that were to be planted.
- Two pests that affect each crop.
- A chemical control that is commercially available for each pest. (If there is none, identify a cultural or physical control method that can be used.)
- A table or spreadsheet indicating cost for the product itself, a rough estimate of what an individual treatment may cost, and specify how many treatments would be needed.
- A summary of the environmental pros and cons of using the products.
- Current vendor information and a label for each product used.
