    Q
    Will this Zylam stop pine tips from turning brown?
    We have been loosing pine trees in our area when the pine needles all turn brown. It starts on a few tips and in a short time a whole branch is brown then the rest of the tree eventually is dead.

    First, you must identify what the source of the problem is in order to correct it. We recommend that you contact a certified arborist and have the tree inspected for stress, disease, or insect damage. What you are describing could be contributed to a whole host of causes. Once the cause has been idetified then please contact us back and we would be happy to make a proper product and treatment recommendation.

    Q
    Does Zylam Liquid Systemic Insecticide address pine bark beetles? If so, would it stop further stem deterioration from trees already hit?
    A

    Zylam Liquid Systemic Insecticide is not labelled for bark beetles so we would not recommend it. Bark beetles are hard to control once they have infested trees, unfortunately. We suggest spraying the trunk and low branches of susceptible trees with an insecticide such as Permethrin SFR as a preventative treatment. For any trees that may be infested, you should trim infested branches and burn them or bag them for disposal.

    Q
    Boring insect in Japanese Maple tree
    I have small boring holes in sections of my 30 year old Japanese Maple. Can I use Zylam Liquid Systemic to kill boring beetles on Japanese Maples?
    A

    Zylam Liquid Systemic Insecticide is labeled to treat for a variety of boring insects, we recommend getting in touch with your local extension office to get a positive ID to ensure this would the right product for your needs.  Most beetles are portected from systemically applied applications as they do not bore into the part of the tree that absorbs the product.

    Q
    Amount of water needed for soil injection
    Hi, the rates of water differ when using the soil injection method. If I am treating a 30" ash tree for EAB and need .8 oz per inch DBH that means I need 24 ounces of product. I have a 1 gallon reservoir on my soil injector. The label says I need a few gallons of water. Will this affect the uptake if I only use the 1 gallon reservoir with the 24 ounces of product and the rest water? Thanks
    A
    There is a chart for treating larger trees with Zylam Liquid Systemic Insecticide on the full product label. For trees that are 30 inches in diameter at breast height, the recommended rate is 12-24 oz of Zylam Insecticide in 7.5 gallons of water. Keep in mind that you should be applying the same amount of product in each hole around the tree. One option you may consider is dividing the Zylam into 7-8 gallons of solution instead of mixing all the Zylam into 1 gallon of water. This will provide better uptake of the insecticide into the tree than trying to use 1 gallon of water to treat around a tree that large.
