    Q
    How do I clean out my spray tank after using Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate?
    A

    The proper technique for cleaning out a sprayer no matter what product is used would be the triple rinse. No special soaps or cleaning chemicals are needed. Simply put clean water in the tank, shake it well, pump the clean water through the nozzle some, dump out the remaining water, and repeat 2 more times. You can also use a Spray Tank Cleaner if you are using the same equipment for multiple kinds of products.

    Q
    Should I use Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate and copper fungicide spray together?
    Is the complete fruit tree spray all I need?
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is a liquid fruit tree spray concentrate containing insecticide, fungicide, aphicide, miticide, scalicide, and spreader sticker all in one solution. Usually you would not add another product to this one. If you did, it would be best to test a small area first for plant tolerance.

    Q
    Can you power spray the Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate off the next day?
    I made a mistake and sprayed this on my milkweed. I sprayed for 2 days straight with my sprayer on full power to wash off the poison. 3 days later I found monarch caterpillar eggs all over. If they eat the leaves will they die or will the constant spray take are of it? All of my praying mantis died from this poison so I'm worried. Is it systematic?
    A

    Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate is not a systemic and is not absorbed by plants.  It does have a slight residual on leaves but if it was washed off may not effect them.  If they do injest enough of the residual product they could be harmed though.

    Q
    What do you recommend for pear scab now that pear is no longer listed on Bonide Fruit Tree Spray Concentrate?
    For years I've used Fruit Tree spray 4-122-8590 to control but never eradicate pear scab. A few years ago I started using just Captan 4-459 because I believed using just a fungicide would be less harmful to pollinators. Now I find out that neither is approved for edible pear. What do I use?
    A

    You can use Bonide Citrus, Fruit, and Nut Orchard Spray or Triple Action which are both labeled to treat scab on fruit trees including pears.  Avoid spraying when pollinators are in the area to limit contact.
