How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Year-Round Horticultural Spray Oil to use by calculating the square footage of the treatment area. To find this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet and multiply (length X width = square footage). Fruit trees will use 1.25 to 3.75 oz. of Year-Round Horticultural Spray Oil per gallon of water depending on the foliage species. Applications for citrus trees has a mix rate of 1.25 to 2.0 oz. of product per gallon of water. Shade trees, shrubs, ornamentals, flower, foliage plants, and conifers will be applied from 1.25 to 5.0 oz. of product per gallon of water. Refer to the label for specific application rates. For vegetables, apply 1.25 to 2.5 oz. of product per gallon of water. Applications for funguses will use the rate of 1.25 to 2.0 oz. of product per gallon of water.
• Step 2: Shake the container of Year-Round Horticultural Spray Oil vigorously before pouring out desired amount. Fill the selected sprayer tank halfway with required amount of water, then add the measured amount of Year-Round Horticultural Spray Oil, and pour in remaining half of water. Close the lid to spray tank and shake until solution appears milky. If it does not appear as this then the solution cannot be used.
• Step 3: Spray the top and bottom of foliage leaves and directly apply to target pests, but not to the point of run-off. Retreat as instructed on the product label when at least 2 to 3 weeks have passed after first application.
