    Q
    Can this be mixed with Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide?
    I would like to mix this with Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide or use both in an alternating schedule to treat a severe outbreak of rust and leaf black spot in an ornamental flower bed. I would also be open to using a synthetic fungicide if it would be more effective.
    A

    Per the label for Bonide Neem Oil, it can be mixed with a dormant or delayed dormant spray to control various types of fungus. We would recommend mixing a small amount first to ensure there is no clumping with the two products.

    A better option for what you are wanting to accomplish is Fertilome Triple Action with Neem Oil. It is an insecticide, fungicide and miticide all in one. It will kill the rust and leaf black spot and can be used on ornamentals.

    Can Bonide Neem Oil Concentrate and Miracle Gro be mixed together as a foliar spray?
    A

    We do not see any reason that you could not use Bonide Neem Oil Concentrate and a Miracle Gro product at the same time. It is recommended that you perform a jar tank mix test first for compatibility and follow each product label for complete instructions on mixing and application.

    Q
    How & when do I use Neem Oil to kill Japanese Beetle grubs in turf?
    A

    Bonide Neem Oil Concentrate is not labeled for grubs and would not be recommended. Neem Oil could act as a suffocant for adult Japanese Beetles at the time the insects are present.  Hi Yield Grub Free Zone would be a better option for grubs. The best time will vary depending on the region you are in. You should contact local cooperative extension office to determine the best timing for grubs in your region.  We have a great article as well on "How to Get Rid of Grubs"

    Q
    If I spray Bonide Neem Oil on my apple trees will it harm honey bees?
    I don't want to harm the bees.
    A

    Insecticides, even natural ones, are unfortunately not selective and will typically control any pest that lands on a treated surface. You can try to avoid spraying when bees are active and only make applications later in the evening when they are not foraging to reduce the chance of the bees being affected.

    Q
    How do I get rid of iris borers?
    I have an infestation of iris borers and I'm not sure what will get rid of them.
    A

    Iris borers can be a difficult pest to control on infested plants, so the best prevention is good sanitation and elimination of infested plants. You can use Neem Oil and/or Evergreen Pyrethrum Dust to treat plants before egg hatch of iris borers. This article has more information which may be helpful.

    Q
    Can Bonide Neem Oil be used on pot plants ?
    A

    Bonide Neem Oil Concentrate is not labeled for use on cannabis plants.  It's recommended to check with your state regulations to see what they recommend for your specific issue.  Since legal cannabis is still something relatively new, there are not many products labeled specifically for that plant.

    Q
    Is Bonide neem oil safe for begonias?
    I used this product last year for a really bad spider mite infestation. My marigolds died a horrible death (I think they were too far gone before I noticed (I was out of town and my son was in charge of watering). My beautiful begonias looked very healthy but I used the neem oil 'just in case'. The begonias died within a few weeks. I don't want a repeat this year. What plants are harmed by neem oil?
    A

    The Bonide Neem Oil states on their product label " Do not apply to known sensitive plant species, such as impatiens flowers, fuchsia flowers, hibiscus flowers, some rose flowers, ornamental olive trees, or some carnation varieties without prior testing" 
    We would suggest reaching out to the Master Gardener with the Cooperative Extension Office located in your county. They are a helpful resource for homeowners in regards to lawn, ornamental and landscape care.

    Q
    Can I use Bonide Neem Oil Concentrate for juniper tip blight ??
    The juniper needles have turned brown. Is it too late to apply Neem oil ? If not, will the needles ever return to green ?
    A

    Bonide Neem Oil Concentrate is labeled to help control tip blight, however, if the needles are already brown, they are dying and will need to be removed if they do not fall off on their own. In this case, the juniper would usually need to be pruned.
