Christmas Tree growers, fruit growers and pecan, filbert and walnut growers have found that the A1 Mist Sprayer to be more efficient than any other sprayer method.  It is also much less expensive. 

Because of the versatile nature and design of our Mist Sprayers, you can spray tall trees up to 100' and spray through foliage and reach those hard to reach areas!

Orchards have found that they can reduce fungicide application rates by 30-35%  while retaining effectiveness.  Some Pecan orchard growers have effectively treated for insects and diseases using 5-6 gallons of spray per acre.

Applying insecticides and miticides on apples and pears:

To minimize the emergence of pests that are resistant to pesticides, avoid repeated application or season-long use of pesticides with the same mode of action.

Use a delayed dormant oil application to control European red mite and San Jose scale.

Use broad-spectrum insecticide only against codling moth, plum curculio, and leafrollers.

Use narrow-spectrum insecticides if problems are detected with aphids, leafhoppers, leafminers, and San Jose scale.

Avoid using products known to be highly toxic to predatory mites or predaceous insects.

Christmas Tree Insect Pests Christmas trees are subject to attack by a number of insects and mites. Some are mainly nuisance pests while others can kill trees or severely reduce tree quality. The type, frequency and severity of insect attack normally varies with host, location and season, but virtually every Christmas tree planting will have some type of insect problem between establishment and harvest. Pests include: Shoot, Limb and Trunk Pests Pine Tip Moths Dioryctria Spp. Black Turpentine Beetle Pales & Pitch-Eating Weevil White Pine Weevil Deodar Weevil Defoliators Pine Webworm Sawflies Bagworm Pine Colaspis Pine Chafer Sucking Insects Pine Needle Scale Pine Tortoise Scale Aphids Mites Pine Spittlebug The 5-nozzle vertical tree volute

Christmas Tree growers, fruit growers and pecan, filbert and walnut growers have found that the A1 Mist Sprayer to be more efficient than any other sprayer method.  It is also much less expensive. Grapefruit and apple growers are saying that the A1 Mist Sprayer is the preferred machine for their applications Nursery and Greenhouse users are spraying trees, shrubs and container stock with application rates of 1/2 gallon to 40 gallons per acre without booms! Foliar Feeding Foliar fertilization, a water soluble fertilizer that is sprayed on the foliage, may help small woody plants, especially plants that aren't getting enough iron. Foliar feeding of trees is becoming more popular and is often used to correct any micronutrient deficiencies. Iron chlorosis is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies, due to typically high soil pH values. Iron can be added anytime during the growing season, as it does not stimulate excessive growth but corrects a chlorotic (leaf yellowing symptom) condition. A Michigan State College study has shown plants absorb nutrients not only through the roots, but also through the foliage, the fruit, the twigs, the trunk and even the flowers. Plants can absorb nutrients 8 to 10 times more efficiently through their leaf surfaces than through their roots. When applying nutrients to the leaf, the nutrients move through the stomata downward through the plant--at the rate of about a foot an hour. When applying nutrients to the leaves in soluble forms, as much as 95 percent of what is applied may be used by the plant. If a similar amount is applied to the soil about 10 percent of it is available. Foliar feeding is effective even on dormant plants and trees.
