    We recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office for product recommendations as many products such as the Docket DF, will remove the coloring from the needles which many tree owners find offensive.

    Q
    Can I use a end of hose sprayer for applying Daconil to trees?
    I have Japanese maples with antracnose.
    A
    Daconil cannot be applied with a hose end sprayer. This product is a powder formulation and will not dilute properly in a hose end sprayer. You should instead use a hand pump sprayer. Also, you should be very cautious when applying any product to Japanese maples as these trees can be very sensitive.

    08/21/2013
    Q
    Can Docket DF be used in a hose end sprayer? How much product do I use for treating brown patch?
    A
    We would not recommend applying Docket DF Fungicide in a hose end sprayer. Using a pump sprayer would offer a more uniformed application. You should measure the amount of product (1.8-5 fluid ounces per 1,000 sq ft for brown patch) to the amount of water necessary for the treated area. Only mix what you plan on using and do not leave the product in the sprayer over night. Rinse out the sprayer well when your are done.

    Q
    If Docket DF cannot be used on residential lawns, what would be an alternative for dollar spot?
    I have a severe case of Dollar Spot on my lawn and was considering using Docket DF. Your customer reviews praise it's effectiveness, but your site states "not for residential lawns" What should I use?
    A
    While the Docket DF is a great product it is only labeled for use on commercial areas. A great alternative fungicide which is one of our top perfomers is the Eagle 20EW. It does a fantastic job on dollar spot as well as a variety of other diseases on lawns. You would use between .5 and 1 ounce per 1000 sq/ft in roughly 1-2 gallons of water for dollar spot control. You would reapply at 14-21 day intervals as needed when conditions are favorable for the disease. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Asked by Chris from Oronoco, Mn
    06/25/2013
    Q
    When does Docket DF become rain-fast? (When it's dry? 1 hour? 1 day?) Great product.
    A
    As with most insecticides, herbicides and fungicides the product will normally be rain-fast after it has dried on the surface for at least 6 hours. Letting the Docket DF dry before rainfall for at least 24 hours is ideal but always check with the label on each product you are using because some may have longer or shorter periods before water/rain can be applied to the area.

    Q
    What is the best treatment for my Blue Spruce which has developed Rhizosphaera Needle Cast?
    The bottom of the Spruce is thinning out due to browning dead needles and has moved up about a third of the tree.
    A
    The only product that we do carry that does not say it cannot be used on blue spruce for needlecast is the Clearys Spectro.  Please be aware that just because it the product can still bleach the trees which is the problem with most products when using on blue spruce.

    Q
    What is the proper mix to control Nigrospora Stolon Rot on st augustine grass??
    A
    Although many university gardening websites recommend Docket DF for Nigrospora Stolon Rot,  Docket DF is not actually labeled for Nigrospora Stolon Rot so we do not have mixing instructions for this type of disease. You can contact the Docket DF manufacturer to see if they are able to offer further instructions. You can reach Syngenta by calling 866-796-4368.

    Q
    I have mold growing on plywood flooring in a new construction on the underside. Will this product work?
    Can this product be added to a Disodium Octaborate (DOT) mixture?
    A
    Docket DF is a fungicide not a moldicide and will not work for your needs. We do carry Boracare with Moldcare which is meant for use on wood. Boracare with Moldcare is the pest control industry's leading product in the fight against mold. It is the only EPA-registered product that will both kill and prevent mold on wood surfaces. Not only does Bora-care with Mold-care treat mold, but it also acts as a surface protectant, killing all forms of fungi, sanitizing and disinfecting the treated area. In addition, wood treated with Boracare with Moldcare will render wood impervious to termites, powderpost beetles and other wood-destroying insects. You will need to use Mold Clean to get rid of the mold stains prior to using the Boracare with Moldcare.

    Q
    I have spruce spider on my trees. What product do I use?
    I have several hundred trees and I have a 26 gal. sprayer
    A
    Our most popular product for spider mites is Talstar P. Talstar P is known to have a pretty good miticide effect for these plant infesting pests. When Talstar P is over used the mites are known to build up a resistance to the active ingredient. The other choices would be to use a horticultural oil or an insecticidal soap. Both of these products work best when they make direct contact with the pest and both products are known to cause discoloration to spruce trees. The pro to using one of these products is that spider mites cannot build up a resistance to them.
