A greenhouse grower found cottony white patches on Sarracenia roots, suspects root mealybugs or aphids. Asks about acephate vs. imidacloprid drench during dormancy.
Acephate works as a root drench but requires active feeding (ineffective during dormancy). Retreat in spring. Imidacloprid is less effective here. Photos suggest fungal patches initially, but closer inspection confirmed root aphids/mealybugs. Use acephate per label.
