A lot of my plants are aroids and vines with a lot of nooks and crannies at the base of the soil. Will this be harmful to the plants if I get any of the product in the soil while applying? Also, can I mix with spinosad and a surfactant? Thank you.
Avid 0.15 EC Miticide Insecticide will not harm the plant if the soil is contacted but you should be directing the spray to the entire leave surfaces so that it can be absorbed there as it is translaminar and will not absorb through the roots. A surfactant is not required with Avid 0.15 EC Miticide Insecticide. The product label states that this product has been evaluated for phytotoxicity on a wide range of ornamental plants however, since all combinations or sequences of pesticide sprays, including surfactants and adjuvants, have not been tested, it is recommended that when adding a surfactant to test a small area before to make certain that no phytotoxicity occurs.
