Pests across the plant library

Every plant guide in this library names its own pests. Read the same data down a column instead of across a row and you get the view nobody publishes: which of the plants you actually grow share a pest, which families it concentrates in, and whether the treatment windows the guides record agree with each other.

16 pest pages below, covering 235 of the 505 guides between them. The largest is aphids, on 109 of them.

By how many plants they affect

Timing only — the label is the law

This page reports when the guides in this library say to watch for a pest and when a treatment is worth considering. It is not a recommendation to apply any product. Read and follow the product label before you spray — under federal law the label is the legal instruction, and using a pesticide against it is illegal.

  • Check the pre-harvest interval. Every product that’s cleared for an edible crop sets a minimum number of days between spraying and picking. Find it on the label before you spray anything you intend to eat.
  • Check the re-entry interval before you or anyone else works in the treated area again, and use the protective equipment the label names.
  • Confirm the product is registered for your crop in your state. This page groups many different crops together, and a product legal on one of them is not legal on all of them — state registrations differ too. Your state pesticide agency or local extension office can confirm both.
  • Rates and mixing instructions come from the label, never from us. We don’t publish them because they differ by product and formulation.
