Bonide Annual Tree & Shrub Insect Control - Manual (Page 7)

For best results, use this product as part of a preventative treatment program before
insect damage occurs. Use one soil drench treatment per year during early spring to
early fall. This product can be applied anytime except when the ground is saturated or
frozen. These conditions will make movement of the product down into the root zone
difficult. When applying this product during dry periods, generously water the tree or
shrub the night before treatment.
RESTRICTIONS:
• Do not apply pre-bloom or during bloom or when bees are foraging.
• Do not apply to soil that is frozen or waterlogged.
• For apple, pear, peach, plum and cherry - A. Allow twenty-one (21) days between
the final application and harvest. B. Do not apply more than 3 gallons of this product
per acre per year.
• For pecans - A. Allow seven (7) days between the final application and harvest. B. Do
not apply more than 3.2 gallons of this product per acre per year.
Trees that are already heavily infested may not survive due to the existing pest damage
and the resulting stress.
Determining Amount of This Product to Use
Measure the circumference (distance around the tree trunk) in inches at chest height or
at 4.5 feet from the soil using a flexible tape. Or, measure the diameter of the tree trunk
in inches at chest height or at 4.5 feet from the soil.
