Default Re: AZ41 - multi-purpose spray

For the evergreen types like citruses, avocadoes and guavas, you spray until the last day of Fall. The best times to start spraying religiously is during spring growth flush for the evergreens. Other fruit types have their own application timing. Then after a couple of months, as the season gets dryer, you can switch into maintenance mode, and spray once a month until harvest. When problems come up nearing harvest time, such as other bugs, and commonly the fog which can cause fungal diseases to the fruits, you have to resume spraying just before the forecast of series of fogs or rains.

AZ41 is designed to be applied regularly as a bio-stimulant and nutrition supplement with insecticidal, fungicidal and nematicidal properties, so it is treated like using foliar fertilizers. Do not use it when you only have problems. It is designed to improve yield, improve health of plants even when under infestations, and produce cleaner fruits and leaves.

Normally, there is just a total of about 8 to 10 sprayings (some could be more, depending on the insect and disease pressure ) in a normal growing season, but it is important to be aggressive during the start of the growing season and then towards the harvest time.
