Trunk Injections are the reason we have lost so many Trees to EAB, and Oak Wilt.

I stand corrected...I should have been more specific. Only labeled for trunk injections for vascular wilt diseases (specifically Oak wilt and Dutch Elm Disease). (corrected in above post as well).

Arborjet labels Propizole as a micro or macro

Mauget has Tebuject (Tebuconazole) labeled for micro

Both list a host of diseases including both DED and OW..... Most things I read elsewhere (University and USFS publications) pretty much set the standard of Propiconizole for Oak wilt and Thiabendazole for Dutch Elm Disease.

Note, efficacy is NOT a requirement to be on the label. EPA restricts what is on the label and they are judging offsite impacts, etc... they are not evaluating whether the product works.


(That is another conversation, but I'd argue they probably should evaluate efficacy because everything has at least some impact of the micro environment around, and using unnecessary and ineffective products means either more treatment or impact with no benefit. I think their argument back would be they aren't supposed to weigh cost:benefit - just cost (cost as in negative environmental impact, not cost as in dollars), and if that is too high, they will not label a product even if there is economic benefit. At least that's what its supposed to be - I'm looking at you, dicamba!)
Got ya.

And I could rant about this but the snake oil products that say they treat something with zero data to back it and labels listing non effective treatments really grinds my gears. The propizol label really set me off a few weeks ago due to putting a drill bit size on the label, which confused a production worker. Extremely inappropriate for arborjet to do so, and they should know better.

These products do. not. work. when micro injected for DED, sycamore anthracnose and BLD. (This is not directed at you ATH)

not taken as such @Basswood - I think we're on the same page here.

And yeah, that's puzzling about the drill bit size because it will depend on the system you are using. Even Arborjet sells different sized plugs which would use different size bits.
 
Does propizol no longer have foliar on the label?

Also, strider is a foliar applied propiconizole.

What treatments does arborjet and maujet offer as micro with those ai?
Mauget offers Tebuject and is in the same "Triazole Fungicide group" as Propiconazole. Also known as a DMI group fungicide.

Mauget offers Fungisol and is in the same "Benzimidazole Fungicide group" as Arbotect 20-S

Mauget mentions in the Manual in front of me, that the 2 choices Tebuject and Fungisol are so you can Rotate 2 different Fungicide Family's and we all know about Resistance. Smart People!


BMP's will continue to change and evolve, and Trunk injections will continue.
