Can someone convert 1.92 ounces per acre to amount per 100 square feet?
I'm
a city boy & only know what a city lot is, not an acre...

What was the active ingredient's percentage on the label?
(lambda-cyhalothrin % = ???) Warrior T's rate is 1.92 ounces for most
crops
PER ACRE!! at 11.4%.
Maybe someone can convert that to "per hundred square feet" & we can
just
multiply to suit our patch size? Then we can multiply by the percent
ratio
between W-T & Triazicide. (I personally am more interested in the W-T
amount
per 100 sq ft.)

Lee,
I discovered the same thing at Lowe's. I did double strength but I don't
know what the "other ingredients" is. I'm using it now along with
another
insecticide. It should work, just be careful because I noticed some
tinged
leaf ends that I don't know what caused it fert,, insecticide, or
fungicide.
I'm from WV and am also attacked by the borer. Keep me informed and
e-mail
me privately if you want at dec@stratuswave.net
Don
