    Q
    How much Acephate 97UP in a two gallon sprayer for rhody weevils?
    Suburban garden usage
    A
    You did not state specifically what plant you are trying to eliminate the weevils from, however in all areas of the Acephate 97UP Product Label, it states to use a rate of 12oz per acre for weevil eliminateion. This will come down to roughly 0.27 oz per 1000 sq/ft in no less than 2 gallons of water.

    Q
    Are pecans safe to eat when acephate has been used?
    My tree has tent catapillars
    A
    The Acephate is not specifically labeled as safe to use on Pecans for tent caterpillars, however other nut trees are on the label and it states you cannot harvest any of it for a year after Acephate 97 has been applied. You could use something like Fertilome Triple Action to spray your tree with for tent caterpillars and it can be used right up to day of harvest.

  • Asked by Leon from State College, Pa
    08/18/2019
    Q
    Since I am spraying Acephate 97UP on orchids for thrips, do I use 1/2 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon per gallon of water?
    Can I spray every week for three weeks without doing damage to the plants or should I spray three times every other week?
    A

    Per the product label for Acephate 97UP, you must wait at least 14 days between applications. The rate for orchids is 8 oz per 100 gallons of water, so that breaks down to 0.48 tsp per 1 gallon of water, so you should stay at the rate you are using.

    Q
    Can I use Acephate 97UP as a soil drench for control of spider mites on 25' tall itallian cypress?
    Is this effective and if so I need to know the application for such?
    A

    Acephate 97UP Insecticide is not labeled to treat for spider mites so would not be recommended.  We are unaware of any systemic product that is labeled for use for spider mite control. Instead we would recommend a foliage spray product such as Talstar P, which is labeled for use on ornamental plants and is also labeled for spider mites.

    To make a paint-on-slurry paste of Acephate 97UP Insecticide, you need to mix 2 to 3 level teaspoons per 1 tablespoon of water. Per the product label: Remember to remove the loose bark from the trunk areas to be treated. Completely paint a band twice its diameter. Make application to trunks within a zone, 6 to 12 inches above the ground and below the point where branching begins. For multi-trunk plants, be certain to treat all trunks. For either single or multi-trunk plants, make application as low as possible within the specified treatment zone.

  • Asked by Mark from Rio Rancho, Nm
    02/11/2016
    Q
    Is Acephate 97UP effective for controlling pine tip moths?
    How much of this product (per gallon of water) should I use in my 2-gallon sprayer to control pine tip moths on my Pinon pines and Austrian pines? And if I apply it as a soil drench rather than direct spray to treat those same pine tip moths, what should that concentration be (amount per gallon of water, or per inch of trunk diameter, etc.)? Thank you for your help.
    A

    Acephate 75UP Insecticide can be used on ornamental trees and shrubs to control Nantucket Pine Tip Moth Larvae. Per page 19 of the product label, apply .75 lb (12 oz.) per 100 gallons of water as a full coverage spray at 14 day intervals as necessary to maintain control. Do not apply more often than 3 times in a growing season to trees and shrubs. This rate would be roughly 0.27 oz. per 1,000 square feet in at least 2 gallons of water.

    Acephate 75UP does not have labeling for soil drench for pine tip moth larvae, however we do sell other products that are. Adonis 2F would be a great choice for soil drench for this pest in Spring. You will use Adonis 2F at a rate of 0.1 - 0.2 oz. per inch of trunk diameter at breast height for soil drench. You should use no less than 10 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet when drenching, apply directly to the root area, and remove plastic or any other barrier that would stop the solution from reaching the root zone.

    For either application, it is recommend to speak to your local County Cooperative Extension office for recommendations on the best timing to treat for this pest in your area.

  • Asked by Bryan from Orem, Ut
    05/29/2019
    Q
    Is 1.2 oz of Acephate 97 recommended per gallon of water for peach borers?
    Seams like a lot even for fire ants! How much for orchard and ormamental shubs? I have had less than expected results with Imaclorprid 75 wps and peach/ash bores. I still have infestations in peaches, ash an lilacs.
    A

    Acephate 75UP Insecticide is not labeled for use on peaches or for residential ornamentals, so we cannot recommend it for these applications. You can use Sevin Concentrate (new active ingredient) to protect peach trees from borers, but if you have trees that are already heavily infested, there is not much you can do. We also have Peach Borer traps here.

  • Asked by Leon from State College, Pa
    08/18/2019
    Q
    When using Acephate 97 UP and a spreader sticker on my orchids for thrips, could I just spray over the tops of the plant and get the same systemic effect as spraying the whole plant?
    I am using it at the rate of 1/2 tsp/gallon. I have been told that systmics only go up in the plant, so I have to spray the whole plant. However, I do grow plants in empty fishtanks.
    A

    Since the label application instructions for Acephate 97UP recommend full coverage for thrip control on orchids, this is what we would recommend to do as best you are able for the best insect control. You want to get as full coverage as possible and then you can retreat as often as every 14 days.
