Safari 20SG Systemic Insecticide with Dinotefuran is applied at 0.5 to 1 tsp per gallon of water for foliar spray applications to small treatment areas. For soil drench applications to the root zone, the recommended rate is 3 to 6 grams (1.25 - 2.5 level teaspoons) per foot of shrub height in 16 to 64 ounces of water per foot of shrub height.
Water volume is determined by the soil conditions and how much water is needed to evenly cover the root zone from the trunk to the canopy.
To perform a bark spray application with Safari 20SG Systemic Insecticide with Dinotefuran, you will want to use 12-24 oz of Safari 20SG per gallon of water. Depending on bark type and thickness, one gallon of spray solution will typically cover 65-85” of cumulative trunk diameter (1.5-2.0 fl oz per inch of trunk diameter) when applied to the trunk between soil surface and 4-5 feet when applied above soil surface.
Safari 20SG Systemic Insecticide with Dinotefuran cannot be applied with a hose-end sprayer as it will not give you the treatment or coverage that you need. It needs to be applied with a low-volume sprayer or you can mix it in a bucket and pour it around the base of the trees.
