What sprayer do you recommend for applying the product to my apricot trees?

Liqui-cop totally eliminated peach leaf curl (which had previously been a problem) on my seven semi-dwarf peach trees. Any of the kinds of orchard or garden sprayers you can get at the hardware store or on Amazon would work. Adjust the nozzle so the spray is half way between a jet stream and a mist. I used a 3 gallon Solo hand pump sprayer. Maybe I had to refill it once, I can't remember. If you have taller trees or more of them a bigger and/or more powerful sprayer might be required. The three gallon sprayer when full weighed about 26 or 27 pounds. If that is too heavy for you use a smaller one. I sprayed in early spring. Some books recommend spraying after leaf drop in the fall. Maybe this year I'll do both. It only took about twenty-five minutes (three minutes per tree plus a minute or two of mixing time).

To spray apples for cedar rust I use .07 oz per gallon. To meter this small dose I use a small syringe. Just a little over 2 cc's per gallon is adequate to prevent cedar rust. Make sure you get complete leaf coverage. I generally spray a couple times which does the job. At that spray rate the pint of Eagle 20 EW would make over 220 gallons of spray.

Yes, I spray fruit trees probably up 10-12 feet. The spray does get dispersed at greater heights, but still gets there. Hope this helps.

Nick, Not that I know about. The product is labeled for use for "remedial control" and thats about as good as it will be. If you need something "more", go with Boracare. It will penetrate the wood (by design) so if you have an established problem already, the Boracare is the way to go. That being said, if you're only wanting to protect the wood against problems and currently don't have anything specific to control, Timbor will suffice and is a good place to start.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

Like others have commented, any spray detailer will work. I use Mothers or Maguire's all the time. Just depends on what I have on hand. Either one works great.

Any of the products you mention would do the job. Lightly spray areas of infestation.

After pruning I drench with a solution 1onz/gallon and spray it as recommended every two weeks to foliage along with a tsp of clear dish soap. The soap helps the solution "stick" to leaves.

A common lawn and garden sprayer with an adjustable nozzle will do. Alternatively you could use a paint roller (3/4" nap).

I think if your water pressure is decent you should not have a problem. We have a well and spray our fruit trees all the time It's a reliable sprayer.

We usually use a sprayer with the hose because we spray about 20 tall trees. The deer ate the leaves off halfway up the trees 3 yrs ago. They have not touched the trees since we started spraying with DEER OUT...it is great stuff. Does not wash off the trees like products you buy at local stores. I would think a spray bottle would work well if you are doing a small area. In fact...I use a spray bottle to spray the engines and wheel wells of our cars so "chipmunks" don't go in them and build nests. It works great!!

VWH, Definitely do not use Boracare for treating a live tree. Now there are some products which are labeled as a systemic and for the control of termites. Unfortunately you might find limits on what you can use if the tree is bearing fruit for consumption.JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

My husband used it and this is his response. "One bottle goes a long way since it is diluted directly 1:8 in a pump sprayer. It took 2 sprays to kill unwanted growth from a Live Oak, probably due to the amount of rain we get almost everyday. You could probably use a garden hose with a sprayer attachment but I don't feel you have as much control. We were able to direct the spray on the unwanted growth and save my other plants nearby."

I used a garden sprayer (used to spray insect repellent etc.) worked well for us and would recommend setting sprayer on fine spray.

I used it in a hand-pumped one gallon spray bottle. If you don't need to cover a large area, a regular spray bottle should work fine.

How is the best way to apply it to floor joists in a low crawl space when a sprayer won't work!

Captan can be effective. It is a component of a Bonide Fruit Tree spray, or available as a single ingredient.
