    A

    DiPel PRO DF Biological Insecticide may be tank mixed with other labeled insecticides to enhance control provided a small jar test is done to determine physically compatibility.

    Q
    Will DiPel PRO DF Biological Insecticide control ants in the ground if applied before planting my garden?
    I have a lot of little black ants, tiny but not fire ants, last year they ate up and damaged lots of my vegetables and I'm wanting to treat them before they damage anything this year?
    A

    DiPel PRO DF Biological Insecticide is not labeled for control of ants or for spraying on the ground, so we do not recommend that application. You could use a contact spray such as Fertilome Triple Action as needed and up to day of harvest. Depending on the plants you have, you may also consider a synthetic product labeled for use on edibles, such as Sevin Insecticide Concentrate.

  • Asked by Linda from Berkeley, Ca
    05/31/2021
    Q
    Applying DiPel
    Can other products be added to DiPel such as Harpin Protein? How often should DiPel be applied to vegetable and flower gardens? Should DiPel be applied to leaves, stems & surrounding soil. Is a light spray sufficient?
    A
    Per the product label, you could potentially mix DiPel PRO DF Biological Insecticide with other products; however, you would need to do a small tank mix for compatibility first. You also need to use the most restrictive labeling of any products that you are mixing.

    Applications can be repeated at 3-14 day intervals depending on the target pest and conditions such as plant growth rate and rainfall. Thorough coverage is needed for sufficient control since the target pests must consume the deposits of DiPel to be affected. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.

  • Asked by Wallace from Eau Claire , Wisconsin
    05/10/2015
    Q
    I have a 2 gallon sprayer. How much Di Pel Pro DF do I use on a Jack pine budworm problem?
    A
    You should use 0.5 to 2 lbs of DiPel Pro per acre, depending on what plants you are treating. This would equal up to about 3/4 oz. per 1,000 square feet in sufficient water to cover area. If you do not require an organic certified product, and you only have a small area to treat, Hi-Yield Thuricide Concentrate is a liquid intended for smaller areas that may be more appropriate for your application.
