full season horticultural oils
The Sun Spray horticultural oil has been discontinued. We are still using it because we stocked up when we heard about it being discontinued. I called my supplier and asked for the name of an appropriate replacement. Prescription Treatment horticultural oil was recommended. Other companies make full season horticultural oil. Some options are: Summit, Bonide, Hy-Yield and Ferti-Lone. I don't care to use Volk oil spray because of the bad smell and that some trees don't take to it well. When I checked on application instructions, there was a range of 85 degrees to 90 degrees occurring within 48 hours when it should not be applied. So be safe, and don't apply over 80 degrees. There might be a horticultural oil called Wipe Out; I am only familiar with Wipe Out as a broad leaf weed killer.

ReplyDeleteHi Rodney:
ReplyDeleteI purchased Nature's Wipe Out Organic Insecticide, which is supposed to be a ultra-refined oil like the Sun Spray. I'm hoping it only "wipes out" the bugs and not the trees its sprayed on. ;-)
Here is a link in case anyone wants to check it out: http://www.natureslawn.com/wipeout.php
