I need to put it around base of Crape Myrtle trees for Aphids, I want it to absorbed into the Crape Myrtle trees to wipe out the aphids. A PASTE to apply, so tree will absorb the most. What is the mix ratio per Acephate and I assume water or a type of liquid? Thanks!
To make a paint-on-slurry paste of Acephate 97UP Insecticide, you need to mix 2 to 3 level teaspoons per 1 tablespoon of water. Per the product label: Remember to remove the loose bark from the trunk areas to be treated. Completely paint a band twice its diameter. Make application to trunks within a zone, 6 to 12 inches above the ground and below the point where branching begins. For multi-trunk plants, be certain to treat all trunks. For either single or multi-trunk plants, make application as low as possible within the specified treatment zone.
