Hi Linda..... welcome to the world of borer! A disgusting world at best.
Adding "stckum" to your Cygon won't help the situation - applying it at the
right time will. I don't use it as a spray, but rather as a drench. Since
Cygon is a systemic, it's important that the plant be able to take it in
effectively. Furthermore - as they say - timing is everything. We recommend
3 applications..... the first one when the tulips first show color, then 10
days later - and then 10 days later.
I had only one borer infestation..... and that almost sent me screaming into
the streets.
