How to Use & When to Apply:
Apply liquid sprays on dry, mild, calm days to the leaves of plants. If you are using a dust, apply under the same conditions but for best results, use when leaves are slightly moist for best stickage.
Follow all label directions closely, especially on edible crops such as fruit trees and vegetables. Vegetable plants in particular have slightly different “spraying intervals” and “last spray date before harvest” days so be careful to follow the instructions closely. The label has plenty of information for all different types of edibles and vegetables.
Apply when plants are infected with target insects OR before problem occurs. Works best on younger populations of insects or even as a preventative but also has great strength on existing mature populations depending on the particular insect. May take a repeated application to completely knock out a strong insect population.

This is the same chemical that comes in the liquid, but in dust form. Some gardeners prefer to use the dust form over the spray. Make sure to apply on a calm, mild day to avoid blowback. Apply when leaves are slightly moist to ensure stickage.
