Is there an outside temperature that is too hot for applying Essentria IC3?

Also, does early morning dew affect it? I'm wondering about the optimal time and temperature for application of Essentria IC3.

Answer:

There is not a specific temperature requirement for applying Essentria IC3 except that temperatures should be above freezing to avoid damaging your spray equipment. Because this concentrate contains botanical oils, we would recommend avoiding spraying sensitive ornamental plants in the hottest part of the day or just before this time, most likely when temperatures may be over 90 degrees. This is just to reduce the possiblity of burning sensitive plants. You will usually see better residual spraying plants that are not already wet from dew or precipitation. We would not recommend spraying when the ground is very wet from precipitation, or when rainfall is expected within 24 hours.
