Can I spray Essentria IC3 on avocado trees to eradicate mites? We want to sell the fruit.

Answer:

Essentria IC3 cannot be applied to fruit or vegetables directly, especially ones that will be harvested for human consumption.  However, we do have a product made specifically for food bearing trees which is called Malathion 57%.  It can be applied right to the food on the tree,  For each plant type there is a cut off time before harvesting, which is usually 7 days.  Here is a link to the product label
