Leon from State College, Pa writes

Since I am spraying Acephate 97UP on orchids for thrips, do I use 1/2 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon per gallon of water?

Can I spray every week for three weeks without doing damage to the plants or should I spray three times every other week?

Answer:

Per the product label for Acephate 97UP, you must wait at least 14 days between applications. The rate for orchids is 8 oz per 100 gallons of water, so that breaks down to 0.48 tsp per 1 gallon of water, so you should stay at the rate you are using.
