What you can protect

The spray targets a broad spectrum of pests and diseases, making it suitable for trees, fruiting shrubs, vegetables, ornamentals, and even lawn edges. It helps guard foliage against powdery mildew, rust, blight, brown rot, and leaf spots. This combination supports a robust, visually healthy garden by limiting visible damage while preserving the vigor of your plants.

• Pests covered include beetles, fruit flies, caterpillars, mealybugs, spider mites, thrips, scale, and leafhoppers.
• Diseases addressed include powdery mildew, rust, blight, brown rot, and leaf spots.

Where to use

Ideal for apples, citrus, avocado, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, peppers, pecans, lemons, limes, oranges, peas, onions, lawns, roses, flowering plants, and shrubs — essentially a broad roster of edibles and ornamentals. It’s designed for everyday life in the garden and can be applied up to the day before harvest, offering flexibility during peak seasons and harvest windows.

How to apply

Mix with water and apply using a hose-end sprayer or a tank sprayer. Depending on your crop and level of protection needed, you can dilute as little as 2.5 fluid ounces per gallon to stretch the product further. One pint yields up to 6.4 gallons of finished spray, so you can tailor the coverage to large trees or smaller plants alike. Always read and follow label directions to ensure safety and best results.

Tips for best results

• Test a small area first to assess plant tolerance and avoid potential scorch on sensitive species.
• Apply during cooler parts of the day to improve coverage and reduce rapid drying on foliage.
• Ensure thorough wetting of both upper and lower leaf surfaces for maximum contact with pests and disease sites.
• Combine with an integrated approach including sanitation and cultural care for sustained garden health.

Harvest timing and expectations

Use as part of a proactive plan and remember it is labeled for use up to the day before harvest. Plan spray timing around fruit development and local guidelines to balance protection with harvest readiness.
