Spinosad remains active for 5-7 days. It is biodegradable but I would give it 2 weeks to be safe.Why is it to late? I know guys using conscerve SC, I think it breaksdown in 48 hours into inert compounds? I mean 10 days to harvest was considering blasting them again.
I would prefer the plant digest it. I haven't lab tested it or anything so I dont want to give you info I dont have. That's why I'm about playing it safeWill it biodegrade after harvest or requires sunlight?
I had noticed some of this under the leaves shacking up with the Aphids but didnt know what it was. what do they do? ~ Do you think its possible that these bugs came in due to the fire we had here in Cali? Since we never had them before and their so bad, so many of them. We've even got hella ladybugs this year, usually dont see them. Too bad there wasn't more of them. lol Thanks, JulieLooks like thrips damage.
No, next year we will start with new fresh soil and when its time to spray we will hit them hard. Enough of the stuff that dont appear to work. Hit em hard and get it over with. ~ Spraying 48 trees isn't a walk in the park by all means. lol Thanks, JulieNext year, you need to buy beneficial insects early on in the season. Biocontrol is the best preventative method. I would also try putting your plants in a different location on our land. If you plant them in the same spot year after year it gives pests a chance to establish their permanent “home.” If you mix it up in location, you prevent them from making a permanent home.
Less vegetation from fires will draw more bugs to existing vegetation unfortunately.I had noticed some of this under the leaves shacking up with the Aphids but didnt know what it was. what do they do? ~ Do you think its possible that these bugs came in due to the fire we had here in Cali?
