Thank you very much for providing this and a few of your other videos. May I ask which method of insecticide application is recommended? The spray basal method looks like it would be much more targeted and waste less spray.
I'm putting on dinotefuran to kill scale on a Scotch pine and the directions list either a drench or spray the base of the trunk. I am going to do the drench because that way I won't get any drift. Plus I don't know how to use a sprayer anyway. O _ O XD = (
wow my tree is 50" around and divided by pie (3.14) rounds up to 16, so 16 ounces of product per gallon, but how many gallons? My tree line is 25 feet?
Seems to be so many different ways to do this, but what about the drip line? how is the solution going to get up into the tree from the trunk? there's no root system there. And concentrate to water? lot of way to calculate this and they're all different. I even got several ways to do the whole thing from several different chats with Bonide. At the end of the day, how ever carefully you mix what you pour on, it's bound to get altered and unevenly distributed by the moisture in the soil.
I would figure out what exact species you have, then search the website of your local Extension university for what is good to kill it, and when you can apply it. For example I posted pics of my pest on a local Facebook gardening group and then some experts on there identified it.
You use it when it is again needed. For example I'm going to put dinotefuran on a Scotch pine to kill scale (or else the scale will eventually kill the tree) but the protection only lasts for 6 months. Am hoping to get a year's worth of protection out of it since the stuff cost $120 on Amazon!
You should still be wearing a respirator, goggles, gloves, and a Tyvec suite or a pair of clothes you can take off and wash right away and shower as well. You don’t want this stuff splashing up in your face and you don’t want to breathe in the powder dust or have any absorb in through your skin whatsoever
I was reading the directions but couldn't quite picture how this is done, so thanks.

nice ppe
I have over a hundred trees to drench,
Applying a product like Safari 20 SG might be more expedient for your situation. Treat after the blooms have expired to protect your pollinators.
How often dose this get repeated?
I can't find the answer anywhere that question. 😕 I'm going to assume it's one time since nothing says repeat every week or whatever.

No respo, no gloves, not enough water to seep below frost barrier . All you did was top dress feed systemic. That tree is 40 gallons minimum
