    Q
    Is the liquid form better than the granular form for Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II?
    A

    Which form of the Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II that works better depends on the depth of the roots on the plants/trees you need to treat.  For plants/trees with shallow feeding roots granules could be used, for ones with deeper roots, the liquid would be best as it can be pushed down further with more watering.

    Q
    Do I mix one ounce of the concentrate for every inch of tree diameter in how much water?
    A

    Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II - Concentrate is mixed at 1 oz per inch of trunk cirumference (not diameter).

    The amount of water that is used will vary depending on soil conditions and volumes that are easy for applicators to use. The minimum amount of water that should be used is 1 pint per foot of shrub height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per foot of height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) as well. Denser soils such as clay do not accept water as readily, so the lower volume of water is suggested.  Since sandy soils can accept more water, using the higher volume of water is preferred. After the soil drench has been applied you should water it in with at east 1/2 inch of water.

    Note: Water simply acts as a carrier and it is important that even distribution of the product is achieved. Thus, more water may be used if the applicator feels runoff will not occur and proper penetration of the root zone is achieved. Insecticides applied to the soil are taken up by the roots and translocated throughout the tree or shrub. Root/soil drenches offer the advantage of requiring no special equipment to apply (other than a bucket or watering can). However, surface layers of organic matter, such as mulch or leaf litter, can bind the insecticide and reduce uptake. Before applying drenches, it is important to remove or pull back any mulch or dead leaves so the insecticide solution is poured directly on the mineral soil. It is also important to keep the soil around the tree or shrub moist for the next 7-10 days after applications to encourage uptake

  • Asked by Brian from W Henrietta, Ny
    04/23/2019
    Q
    How do I use Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II - Concentrate for trees?
    A

    When using Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II - Concentrate for trees the product label states you use 1 oz for every inch of distance around trunk. For trees with distance around trunk of less than 30 inches apply the solution evenly in a circle 2 feet from the tree trunk. Trees with distance around trunk greater than 30 inches, apply the solution evenly in a circle 3 - 4 feet from the tree trunk.

    Example: A tree measuring 8 inches around, pour 8 ounces of product into 1 gallon of water. If the tree measures greater than 50 inches around, pour the required product into 2 gallons of water. A flexible tape measure is the recommended method for measuring the distance around a tree.

    Q
    How dry does the soil have to be when applying 12 Month Tree&Shrub Protect and Feed?
    I live in the Pacific NW and have a lot of rain in spring. My arborist told me to treat my white birch for Bronze Birch Borer now (in midApril). I have clay soil too. We have had continuous rain and the forecast is for more rain for the next week or two. Should I wait until May which will be dryer or should I apply now when the borer insects are starting to come out of hibernation.
    A

    When applying Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II, per the label, the product can be applied anytime except when the soil is waterlogged or frozen. These conditions inhibit the movement of the product down into the root zone. During prolonged dry periods, saturate the soil around the tree or shrub well with water the night before making an application.In addition to that, we would recommend to apply 24 hours after the last rain and/or apply 24 hours before you’re expecting any rain.

    Q
    Will Bayer Advanced 12 Month TRee & Shrub protect Sago Palms from a white scale infestation?
    This problem is prevelant in Fl..
    A
    Imidacloprid (the active ingredient in this product) may have some effect on the scales but the Cycad scales the generally infest Sago Palms are known to be quite resistant to the active ingredient. Cycad scales really require a suffocant and a different systemic insecticide to be successfully controlled. We recommend that you treat the foliage with a quick working horticultural oil and then use a product containing dinotefuran such as Safari as a soil drench that will be translocated through the plant.

    Q
    When using Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed - Concentrate. for my crepe myrtle tree how much solution do I use & how is it diluted? The diameter of the tree is 12 inches. Where do I pour the solution? What if it rains?
    A

    When treating trees using Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed - Concentrate you will use 1 oz. of product for every inch of distance around the trunk. That would be 12 oz of product. The amount of water that is used will vary depending on soil conditions and volumes that are easy for applicators to use. The minimum amount of water that should be used is 1 pint per foot of shrub height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) but you may use 1 quart -1 gallon of water per foot of height (or inch of trunk diameter for trees) as well. Denser soils such as clay do not accept water as readily, so the lower volume of water is suggested. Since sandy soils can accept more water, using the higher volume of water is preferred. After the soil drench has been applied you should water it in with at least 1/2 inch of water. You want to go out about halfway between the trunk and the trees drip line and evenly pour the solution in a circle around the base of the tree. According to the product label Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. 

     

    Note: Water simply acts as a carrier and it is important that even distribution of the product is achieved. Thus, more water may be used if the applicator feels runoff will not occur and proper penetration of the root zone is achieved.

    Q
    How do i use Bayer Advance 12 Month Tree & Shrub with my Gilmore sprayer for use with concentrates?
    The gilmore can be changed from teaspoons per gal. or tablespoons per gallon. As a general rule, what should I set the gilmore to? Is your product effective against grasshoppers? and lastly, Is the product effectively balanced ratio wise for flower baring plants?
    A

    The setting you use is going to vary for where you are treating. According to the label:

    How much to use:

    Trees:
    1 oz for every inch of distance
    around trunk; treats 4 trees that
    measure 8 inches around trunk
    Shrubs:
    3 oz for every foot of height;
    treats 5 shrubs that are 2 foot tall
    Containerized Plants:
    1 2/3 tablespoons for each five gallon
    container; treats up to 42 - five gallon
    containers
    Please see the Bayer Advance Product Label for complete instructions for your needs. As long as you have your setting adjusted for the right insect on the right plant, the balance of the ingredients even on flower bareing plants will be correct.
    This product is not effective against grasshoppers according to the label, however we do carry Talstar which is a great safe yet powerful insecticide to control grasshoppers as well as a large variety of other insects.

    Many of the Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub products will do the same thing and contain the same active ingredients.  Some just come in multiple sizes and different formulas (like granule vs liquid). The Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed II - Concentrate should do what you are looking for as a systemic soil application. Use instructions: Trees: 1 oz. for every inch of distance around trunk in no less than 1 quart of water per inch of trunk diameter to make sure its sufficiently moved through the soil.
