Cygon

Arnold Koekkoek described a painting method for the use of Roundup which has 
been described for other herbicides over the last few months.  I wonder why 
this method would not work for Cygon.  As a systemic, I assume that it can 
be applied to the plant anywhere and an application on one leaf would result 
in it spreading throught the plant.  The only problem would be whether one 
can apply a high enough concentration.  Does anyone know if such a method 
would work?

I had my worst borer year this year and I believe the reason is my 
relucances to spray with Cygon.  This reluctance resulted in me spraying 
once and deciding not to do a follow up spray.  The problem is the drift 
that occurs even on a very calm night.  One can smell the chemical 
throughout the garden, which means one is breathing it.

Painting would be far more specific and a better choice even if the 
concentration had to be increased.

PS  I appreciate Tom's management of the group and support any effort to 
reduced the "asides" or short comments or a personal nature.  Most of them 
could be sent directly to the recepient and we would not have to read them.
