[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Neem oil mixing: found the winning formula.

Posted: 5/4/2019 10:24:46 PM EDT

Always used soap, but still could never get the neem oil to mix well.

This year I bought this wetting agent. I make sure the neem oil is warm (leave it sit in the sun for a while), use hot water and mix up 1oz each per gallon water neem oil and wetting agent, apply late evening. Could apply early morning, but they doesn't happen for me. All ORMI listed. It mixes very easily. I'm using it as a pre-emergent since last year I had black death on my Apple tree leaves. Of course, everything here is on Amazon.

Hope this helps!

I was pre emergent spraying for leaf spot. Wasn't sure if bacterial or fungal, but it works for both. Whatever it was, damn near killed the trees last couple years. I'm sure it stunted growth.

Very happy and healthy trees now!

Leaf spot here as well but it appears it’s also a pesticide to some extent.

Neem oil? Yes. I also used it in the garden. We can get aphids bad at times.

Neem oil is awesome.

One of the treated trees

The pink trail tape around the trunk has tangleroot on it. Stops ants from ravaging the fruit.

Good info, thanks for the reply.

My orange trees are ate up with some black fungus, nothing has stopped it yet.
I'll try this.

I added this to the wish list, thanks. We have terrible problems with spider mites in our greenhouse in the winter.

Just got ripped on a little bottle of Neem from the local place the other day. This wet spring has the fungi going!
Got my order sent.

Thanks!

All my Apple trees are looking great, except for the sweet 16. It is developing spots again. Been terribly wet though. I'll have to get another heavy dose on that tree.

Maybe that tree is inoculated with the fungus? I got it same time as 3 other trees, all have been fighting this leaf spot.
