Bonide All Seasons Horticultural & Dormant Spray Oil RTS

Bonide All Seasons Horticultural & Dormant Spray Oil RTS, manufactured by Bonide, is an effective mineral oil-based insecticide, fungicide, and miticide spray designed to eliminate pests and their eggs as well as diseases for the average gardener.

Due to its ready-to-spray design, this product connects directly to a garden hose, allowing for quick and even application without the need for additional equipment or mixing. Rather than using toxic chemicals, this spray works by smothering pests such as aphids, mealybugs, leafminers, and more, reducing the likelihood of resistance development over time.

Bonide All Seasons Horticultural & Dormant Spray Oil RTS is a ready-to-spray self-emulsifying spray oil that controls present infestations and reduces the likelihood of outbreaks throughout the plant's entire growth cycle, including its dormant stages. 

Tools Needed

You will need a garden hose to apply this product.

How to Use

• Step 1: Shake the container thoroughly, then attach to the garden hose.
• Step 2: Turn on the water supply at the source. Water pressure will build in the hose since the sprayer is already in the “OFF” position.
• Step 3: To apply the product, bend the safety tab and turn the control valve clockwise to the “ON” position. Spray until the plant is thoroughly saturated and the spray solution runs off the plant. For trees, wet the entire surface of branches, main limbs, and trunk. Give special attention to the underside of limbs.
• Step 4: When spraying is complete, turn the control valve back (counterclockwise). Turn the water off. Disconnect the hose from the applicator and store the product in the original container.

Where to Use

Bonide All Seasons Horticultural & Dormant Spray Oil RTS can be used on listed fruit trees, shade trees, vegetable gardens, ornamentals, shrubs, roses, berries, nuts, and citrus.

Do not use hose-end sprayer application in home greenhouses or on houseplants. Hose-end sprayer applications may be made only when specified application rates are between 2 1 /2 and 5 tablespoons oil/1 gallon of water

When to Use

Apply when pests, mites, or diseases are present on days when the temperature is between 40 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. It may also be used when the plants are dormant or in delayed dormant stages.

Do not apply when the temperature is greater than 90 degrees Fahrenheit or less than 40 degrees Fahrenheit or when plants are dry (suffering for want of moisture) as it may cause leaf drop due to "shock."
