The insecticide dissolved in water moves down through the soil, where it
is absorbed by the roots. Once absorbed, it moves up through the plant
providing insect protection. This product even moves into new growth
after application, thus protecting it, too! For insect control, the insecticide
must distribute completely through the plant. Depending on the size and
health of the plant, this may take one week to three months (for very large
trees). Rain or water cannot wash o this internal protection.
Use at rst signs of insect infestation, preferably before damage from
feeding occurs.
