Treated Magnolia Frescati with Martin’s Imidacloprid

Yard

2/21/2020 – To hopefully prevent the usual aphid infestation on the Frescati we applied a systemic following the Neem Oil foliage drench a few weeks ago. Mixed 1.5 fl. oz. of Martin’s Dominion Tree & Shrub per one (1) gallon of water and poured it slowly from a watering can in a 3-ft band around the Frescati. That mixture was half strength due to the many-trunk tree with its small sizes but large diameter.

This was a followup, second step, in our program to control the aphids. That effort this year began with the Neem Oil Drench here.
