  • Asked by Joseph from Scott Township, Pa
    03/29/2015
    Q
    Do I need a soil injector to use Select Source Imidacloprid 2F T/I?
    I am interested in using this to treat adelgids on several hemlocks. It seems to me that soil injection would work best in my location. I'm assuming the injector tools just save time, but I want to be sure I'm not missing something. Could I just make 6" deep holes with rebar and then use a squirt bottle to squirt the required amount into the hole and have the same effect as if I used an injector? Thank you.
    A
    Soil Injections are usually applied with high pressure injection system. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer Prime Source at 877-235-0043 for clarification if the method you are wanting to do will give you adequate results.

    Q
    How long once the tree absorbs Imidacloprid 2F will it take to get out of the tissue within the tree?
    A

    How long it takes for Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F to translocate through a tree from the roots to the leaves will depend on the size of the tree, growth stage, and the rate at which the product was applied. This could be only a few days for very small plants to several weeks for larger trees. For some plants, this may take 60 days or longer, so the product is best applied before anticipated pest infestations, per the product label.

    05/26/2018
    Q
    I applied Imidacloprid 2F when I was expecting rain, but it didn't rain. The lawn is too big to water, what now?
    Do I need to reapply when it will rain? When can I walk on my lawn? When can I mow?
    A

    Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F T/I needs to be watered in after application in order for it to get down to the roots and be absorbed.  It will not be able to do this until it is so absorption will just have to wait until it rains.  It is safe to return to the treated area once the application is dry.  Mowing should be delayed at least 24 hours

    Q
    What is the best time of year to treat aphids in pecan trees using Prime Source Imidacloprid 2F T/I?
    Using soil drench method on large 2-3' trees, should I spread solution evenly between trunk and drip line?
    A

Addition of an organosilicone-based spray adjuvant at a rate not to exceed the adjuvant manufacturer’s specified use rate may improve coverage. RESTRICTIONS:  Do not apply more than a total of 18.0 fluid ounces of this product per acre per year.  Do not make more than 3 applications per year.  Allow 6 or more days between applications. Allow 7 days between last application and harvest.
