    When using a systemic it does take time to translocate up the tree. You can use a foliar spray like Bifen for the time being.

  • Asked by Larry from Rifle, Co
    03/27/2015
    Q
    Can Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench be applied as a foliar spray?
    I spoke with a local owner of an aspen tree nursery. He sprays this product on his young aspen trees 3 times per year when the twiggal fly is active.
    A
    Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is only labeled to be used a soil drench around the base of the tree and not as a foliar spray.  A soil drench will actually provide a longer residual as it will soak into the plants inner system and last for typically an entire growing season up to 1 year. Foliar application are only somewhat systemic with products labeled to do so but would need to be reapplied after the weather wears away at it on the surface.

    I bought 32 oz of tree & shrub systemic insect drench but it doesn't say how or how much to apply to palm tree
    We are trying to get rid of whiteflys on our palm trees.

  • Asked by Maggie from Naples Fl
    05/07/2019
    Q
    How much Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench should be used for a multiple trunk Banyan tree totaling 60
    A

    The Ferti-lome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench label states: TREES WITH 2 OR MORE TRUNKS: Measure the distance (in inches) around each tree trunk and add together. Multiply this total by 0.75 to get the required number of ounces of this product to apply. Example: A tree has 4 trunks. They measure 20, 10, 5 and 5 inches or a total of 40 inches, 40 X 0.75 = 30 ounces.  This would mean you would need 45 ounces of product for a multi trunk tree with a collective measurement of 60 inches. For trees with circumference greater than 50”, use 2 gallons of water, carefully measure required amount of product into bucket, and slowly pour the solution evenly around the tree. For best results, pour as close to the trunk/main stem of the tree/shrub as possible.  Lastly, fill the bucket with clean water and pour it around the trunk as well.

  • Asked by Celia from Worland Wy
    06/04/2014
    Q
    Would Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench work well on evergreen shrubs and spider mites
    A
    Fertilome Tree and Shrub Systemic Insect Drench is not labeled for mites at all. Talstar works well for both the mature and the immature spider mites. Talstar provides optimal spider mite control when applied during spring to mid-summer. Higher application rates and/or more frequent treatments may be required for acceptable spider mite control during mid- to late-summer. The addition of a surfactant or horticultural oil may increase the effectiveness of Talstar. Talstar applications may be rotated with those of other products  that have different modes of action in control programs that are designed  to manage resistance by two-spotted spider mites. Consult your local Cooperative Extension Service for resistance management recommendations in your region.

  • Asked by Mary from Hopemills Nc
    06/10/2013
    Q
    Can I use this on the lawn to kill june, japanese and black grass beetles/grubs?
    A

    Fertilome Tree and insect drench is a great insectide. However, to treat the beetles and many other insects in your lawn we recommend using Talstar P. Talstar P would be a great product for you to use for thebeetles  and the other insects on your property. Talstar P can be used in your yard, around the perimeter of your home and also inside your home when needed and it is safe for use around pets. Since grubs live underground they must be treated with a product that will target them where they live. We do have several products that are specifically labeled for grub worms on our website: Grub Worm Control. We also recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and inquire about the best time to start treatments for grubs in your region.
