    Q
    What works for mealybug infestation on bamboo and how much to apply?
    we have about 50 yards of bamboo along our fence (privacy screen)thats about 3 years old now and all the new growth is getting aborted/stunted by mealybugs. I would like to find the right systemic insecticide (none are labeled for bamboo) and the ones for trees have a different way of applying but would work. Any advice on how much I would need use?
    A
    Yes, Adonis 75 can be used to systemically control mealybugs. The easiest way to apply the Adonis 75 for systemic use is by performing a soil drench. Each bag contains 4 x 2.25 oz. water-soluble packets. Each packet makes 25 gallons of of mixed solution. If you do not have a way to mix up 25 gallons at a time than you cannot use this product as it comes pre measured. You can use the liquid version called Adonis 2F as you can mix up as little or as much as you need at a time. You will need to use 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Adonis 2F per inch of trunk diameter depending on what you are trying to treat the trees for. Most people use a 5 gallon bucket to dilute the product with water. The amount of water that is used will vary depending on soil conditions and volumes that are easy for applicators to use. The minimum amount of water that should be used is 1 pint per foot of shrub height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per foot of height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) as well. Denser soils such as clay do not accept water as readily, so the lower volume of water is suggested.  Since sandy soils can accept more water, using the higher volume of water is preferred. After the soil drench has been applied you should water it in with at east 1/2 inch of water. Note: Water simply acts as a carrier and it is important that even distribution of the product is achieved. Thus, more water may be used if the applicator feels runoff will not occur and proper penetration of the root zone is achieved. Insecticides applied to the soil are taken up by the roots and trans-located throughout the tree or shrub. Root/soil drenches offer the advantage of requiring no special equipment to apply (other than a bucket or watering can). However, surface layers of organic matter, such as mulch or leaf litter, can bind the insecticide and reduce uptake. Before applying drenches, it is important to remove or pull back any mulch or dead leaves so the insecticide solution is poured directly on the mineral soil. It is also important to keep the soil around the tree or shrub moist for the next 7-10 days after applications to encourage uptake. Be sure to read the Adonis 2F product label for complete usage instructions.

    Q
    Confused about cumulative height
    I have 200 feet run of 8 ft ficus hedges that are getting attacked by whiteflies. How much do I need to apply to soil?
    A
    You will need to know approximately how many individual ficus you have and multiply that by 96 inches (8 ft)  to get the cumulative height measurement. This is how you will determine how much product you need to apply to the soil for white fly. You will need to use 1.6 oz of Adonis WSP for every 24-48 inches of cumulative shrub height.

    I mix the Adonis 75 according to directions.. each 2.3 ounce bag in 25 gallons... How much per foot ball of bamboo...each root ball has about 10 bamboo stalks that are 20 ft.. Any direction would be great!

  • Asked by Lee from Greenville, Indiana
    06/30/2016
    Q
    How much Adonis 75 WSP, including foam, would I need for 250 lineal feet?
    I am treating new construction.
    A

    Each envelope of Adonis 75 WSP contains 4 water soluble packets that each make 25 gallons of finished solution. Assuming we are doing a typical treatment of 4 gallons of solution per 10 lineal feet, you would need 1 envelope - or 100 gallons - of finished solution to treat 250 lineal feet for termite trenching. 

    I am not certain what foam application it is to which you are referring. Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • Asked by Roger from Baldwin, Ks

    Q
    For treating ash trees for EAB, using a 2.25 oz Adonis in 25 gal of water, how do I calculate how much to use?
    A

    Each packet of Adonis 75 WSP would treat 24-48 cumulative inches of trunk diameter, so you would need to dilute the product and then divide it evenly among the trees for soil treatment. Please see the chart on page 8 of the product label. This application can be pretty tricky to do, so we usually recommend to use the liquid form of this product, Adonis 2F, which is used at a rate of 0.1-0.2 fl. oz. per inch of trunk diameter in sufficient water to get thorough treatment (no less than 10 gallons per 1,000 square feet).

    Q
    Is Adonis 75 WSP effective as a ground soak to control Asian Psyllid?
    A

    Adonis 75 WSP is labeled to control psyllids, however, only as a foliar application prior to establishment of high pest populations. Part of this is that Adonis 75 packets are made to be diluted in very high volumes of water, which would be extremely difficult to apply evenly for soil drenching. For smaller applications or for a soil drench, you could apply Adonis 2F, which is a liquid concentrate version of this product with the same active ingredient. Per page 34 of the product label, use 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. per inch of trunk diameter for trees, or per foot of shrub height for shrubs and apply uniformly as a drench around the base of plants to be treated, using no less than 10 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet. Direct application to the root area, and remove plastic or any other barrier that will stop the solution from reach the root zone.

    Q
    Is Adonis 75 WSP dangerous to vegetables and berries
    I plan to buy and to use it for termite treatment/prevention. However, in 1-2 feet from the house there are vegetable/berry beds. Is it dangerous? Should I be concerned that active/inactive ingredients spread to roots of vegetables/berries and one cannot consume them? What preventive measures should I do in order to eat the vegetables/berries/fruits later?
    A
    Adonis 75 WSP really needs to be applied at least 5 feet away from edible vegetation. You may want to consider using Termite bait stations.

    Q
    How much solution would I apply to a 10" diameter tree, and at what mixing ratio?
    Treating locust borers.
    A

    The easiest way to apply the Adonis 75 for systemic use is by performing a soil drench. Each bag contains 4 x 2.25 oz. water-soluble packets. Each packet makes 25 gallons of of mixed solution. If you do not have a way to mix up 25 gallons at a time than you cannot use this product as it comes pre measured.  The Adonis 75 WSP is designed to be used in large capacity containers and is usually used by commercial applicators. Most home owners would use the Adonis 2F which is the same ingredient but much easier to measure out in smaller quantities.

    You can use the liquid version called Adonis 2F as you can mix up as little or as much as you need at a time. You will need to use 0.1 to 0.2 fl. oz. (3 to 6 mL) of Adonis 2F per inch of trunk diameter.  So for the 10 inch diameter tree you would use 1 to 2 oz.  Most people use a 5 gallon bucket to dilute the product with water. The amount of water that is used will vary depending on soil conditions and volumes that are easy for applicators to use. The minimum amount of water that should be used is 1 pint per foot of shrub height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per foot of height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) as well. Denser soils such as clay do not accept water as readily, so the lower volume of water is suggested.  Since sandy soils can accept more water, using the higher volume of water is preferred.
