new to treating EAB

Been here much more than a while

I know EAB has been around awhile, but it is just now getting in my area, the first confirmed case was found in my county about a year ago with no other confirmed cases. I would like to start treating for this, and am looking for more information on this. My full time employment has purchased an arborjet and plan on using tree-age g4. I am still reading the booklet on the arborjet system, but thought I'd see if there are any tips on this? This coming spring I plan to treat up to 24 ash trees, and possibly more. At this time EAB is my only use for the arborjet, I may branch out and use it for other uses once I am more familiar with it. I have done research on the borers, but I haven't found much on ins and outs of treating for them. Any info would be great.

Thanks,
Justin
 
I did originally search "treating EAB" and received several post about taking down dead crispy Ash trees, and other post about people feeling mistreated. I guess it's all in the keywords that you type into the search bar, injections is likely to have better results. Of course that will probably lead me to a posting in "Life in the temperate zone..." :whistle:


Thank you for the key word, and I will report back

My co has done well over a thousand ash tree injections over the last 4 years using Arborjet, as well I’ve injected birch trees for bronze birch borer with great success, follow the instructions, inject the appropriate amount of whatever your using and results will follow!
 
@deevo. What are you using to inject for bronze birch borer? We have a huge epidemic here and I was told we had nothing available to inject.

Emectin Benzonate products work in the 90th percentile if pretreating healthy trees. Aza is about half of that. I like to guarantee success to a degree with my clients. The cost benefit analysis of chemical use versus keeping large mature trees alive is a no brainer in this case.
 
Thanks for the replies guys, we aren't allowed to use Emectin Benzonate up here in Canada so it's a choice between Azadirachtin or Imidacloprid. I was also told the opposite @JD3000, Imajet annually and Treeazin every 2 years. Maybe the Arborjet people will take the steps to register TREE-age now that the Borer is more wide spread. It sure would make the desicion a lot easier.

What led you guys to pick the Arborjet vs Treeazin?, EAB was just found here as well so I am trying to make up my mind which product/ system to go with. @deevo

Arborjet systems easier and much more efficient to work with, treeazin not so much, we've been injecting on a 2 year cycle with imajet and every tree we've treated is doing fine. Yes would be great if treeage would be approved here !
 
Bioforest has not been able to maintain any treatment methodology since PMRA registration. In the beginning; 2ml/cm biennial, then 2ml/cm or 5ml/cm infested biennial, then 5ml/cm all trees biennial. Now it’s some stupid system of biennial for years 1-7 of infestation in your zone, then annual for years 8-15, then hopefully you can drop to biennial again. If the snake oil actually saves the tree.
