I have a problem with codling moth and now tent caterpillers on my apple trees. I have used Imiden 70w but still have problems with insect control. I read that Sevin can hurt my fruit trees.how much should I use for 20 gallons of water in my sprayer?
Per the product label: Mix 3.0 fl. oz. of Sevin Concentrate per gallon of water and spray upper and lower leaf surfaces and between fruit clusters and on small limbs and trunks to the point of runoff where pest appear. Repeat applications as necessary up to a total of eight times per year for tree fruits or five times per year for small fruits, but not more often than once every seven days. To avoid undesired apple thinning delay use until at least 30 days after full bloom The product is safe when used as directed on the label.
