When choosing the type or rate of oils, keep in mind that oil dissipates more quickly under higher temperatures. In situations where damage is likely from a regular oil spray because of hot, dry conditionsn oil can be added at a low percentage to certain insecticide sprays to improve coverage. Before combining oil with any pesticide, read the label carefully to make sure the risk of phytotoxicity is not excessive. Do not combine oil sprays with sulfur or follow an application of sulfur within at least 50 days or plant injury may occur. When combining pesticides with oil, use of emulsifiable concentrates or other liquid formulations is preferred over wettable or soluble powders.
Complete coverage is essential.
Do not apply within 90 days of a previous application. Do not apply when trees are stressed by drought or high temperature. Lorsban 4E should not be used in combination with Difolatan 80. For orchard floor application, do not tank mix with Roundup or Paraquat herbicides. One application per season.
