    Q
    Which dial hose end sprayer is best for Sevin concentrate?
    I used an ortho dial a spray and it would stop up. Just wondering if any of them work.
    A
    Sevin Concentrate should not clog up hose end sprayers, if they are cleaned after every use. We have just added a new hose end sprayer the Chapin 6005. This hose end sprayer can spray liquid and dilute water soluble powders without issue.

    Q
    I need to control scale on a young tulip tree.
    Will Sevin concentrate poured on the ground in the root area do the job?
    A
    Sevin Concentrate is used mainly as a foliar treatment. It can be sprayed directly on the tree to treat for scale. If you are wanting to treat systemically, Fertilome Tree & Shrub Insect Drench would be a better option. It is safe to use on your trees. You will use 1 fl. oz. per inch of distance around the trunk.

    Q

  • Asked by Jamie from San Mateo
    04/05/2016
    Q
    Will Sevin Concentrate work on an apricot tree that has borers?
    Tree is producing sap bubbles, clear and parts of the limbs are dying.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate could be used on apricot trees for prevention and early treatment. Per the product label: Do not use on large trees or where pest populations are generally inaccessible to spray deposits, as inadequate performance will result. 

    Unfortunately, once the borers have already infested the tree there are not any viable treatment options as they would be protected from sprays. In cases of infestation the general recommendation is to simply protect the surrounding trees with preventative sprays with a product labeled for such a use.  There is a great read here by University of CA.
