I have had a recent problem with rattlesnakes in an area infested with second growth aguerita and persimmon. Cleared aguerita and persimmon to the ground.
Remedy Ultra Herbicide does list either aguerita or persimmon on the product label as controlled by it, so we apologize we are unable to provide a rate for this use. You may want contact the manufacturer directly for further details to confirm if it would be used and a rate to do so. DOW can be reached at at 800.992.5994 When you use diesel you also have to add an additional product: Prepare oil-water emulsions using diesel fuel, fuel oil, or kerosene plus and emulsifier such as Sponto 712 or Triton X- 100. Use a jar test to check spray mix compatibility before preparing oil-water emulsion sprays in the mixing tank. Cut Stump Treatment: To control resprouting, mix 20 to 30 gallons of Remedy Ultra in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray mixture. Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using low pressures and a solid cone or flat fan nozzle. Spray the root collar area, sides of the stump, and the outer portion of the cut surface, including the cambium, until thoroughly wet, but not to the point of runoff. Spray mixture concentration should vary with the size and susceptibility of species treated. Apply anytime, including in winter months, except when snow or water prevent spraying to the ground line. This breaks down to 25-38 oz of Garlon 4 per gallon of oil solution.
