How to Use

• Step 1: Remove all decayed leaves, infested plant plants, and for diseases like crown gall you will need to cut out gall tissue. To control Fire Blight in home plantings, apply 1 tablespoon of Fertilome Fire Blight Spray in 2 1/2 gallons of water. To control fire blight on pyracantha, apply a solution of 1 level tablespoon of product per 2 1/2 gallons of water.

• Step 2: Fill the sprayer with half the amount of water, add measured amount of Fertilome Fire Blight Spray, then pour in the remaining half of water. Shake the sprayer tank until the solution evenly dissolved in water. For hose-end sprayers, add the measured amount of product into tank then spray until the proper amount of water is added.
• Step 3: Spray the mixed Fertilome Fire Blight Spray to the entire plant until evenly covered, but not to the point of runoff.
