Brigade 2ee Update
Brigade WSB insecticide applied to skirt-pruned citrus trees is very important for preventing Fuller rose beetles from climbing the trunks and laying eggs on the fruit. FMC updated their 2ee trunk treatment recommendation to improve the explanation of how to properly apply the chemical to the trunk. Using the least amount of water possible provides more concentrated and longer lasting protection. However, concentration needs to be balanced with sprayability and avoiding contact with fruit. http://www.fmccrop.com/grower/Products/Labels-MSDS.aspx
