For prevention of and early spring treatment of rose sawfly, you can use a systemic product like Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench. For current sawfly larvae, you can use high pressure water spray to dislodge the insects and/or do a thorough coverage spray using a product such as Conserve SC. It is best to spray in early morning, and be sure you treat the undersides of the leaves where these insects hide.
Conserve SC could harm nematodes if they contact a wet surface so it would not be recommended to apply at the same time. Best to wait a few days in between applications.
Yes, you could potentially use Conserve SC in a mist blower for outdoor applications. The exact rate will depend on the plants you are treating and the pest(s) you are targeting, ranging from 0.06 – 0.2 oz per gallon of water. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
A great product to use for gypsy moths and similar caterpillars would be a product containing natural Spinosad, such as Conserve SC. This should be applied during the spring caterpillar feeding stage with thorough coverage on all leaf surfaces. Conserve SC is great if you have a large area or number of trees to treat. If you are only treating a few trees, then you could use Monterey Garden Insect Spray.
Conserve SC is not OMRI listed. If you are looking for a spinosad product that is, Monterey Garden Insect Spray would be recommended.
