| Plant | Pest | Rate | How to Apply |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Fruit | Green Peach Aphid, Black Peach Aphid | 10mL per 3 litres of water |
Spray foliage thoroughly when insects are first seen or if insects reappear. Spray underneath the leaves to kill pests which may be hiding out of sight. For Hibiscus Flower Beetle, spray buds and flowers as needed. For Longtailed Mealybug, apply 3 sprays 2 weeks apart. For Psyllids, spray at first sign and then a week later. For Soft Scales, spray in late Spring or when small scales are first seen. Apply 3 sprays, 2 weeks apart. For best results spray in the morning where there is little or no wind and little direct heat from the sun. As a guide, 2 litres of spray mixture should be sufficient to thoroughly spray a fruit tree up to 3m high, or to spray 10 large tomato plants. |
