2F and 75WSP

Application Guide

This application guide has been developed to help you acheive success and pre-

dictable results with Xytect. We have provided step-by-step instructions.

If you have issues, concerns, or questions please call our toll-free number.

Before Applying Xytect About Xytect

Be certain to read ALL the instructions covered in this 1. This application guide covers the 2F (liquid) and

application guide, the product label, and read the 75WSP (water soluble packet) formulations.

Xytect Formulations

Xytect 2F and 75WSP can both be applied by foliar spray or soil drench/soil injection application. The main differ-

ence between the two formulations is user preference. Xytect 75WSP can be mixed in large quantities for a ready-

to-use solution while Xytect 2F is convenient for dosing trees on an individual basis.

What Insects Does Xytect Control?

Xytect is a broad spectrum insecticide with efficacy against many species of insects. It is not effective on Arachnids (mites

and spiders) or most Lepidopteran (moth and butterfly) larvae. Call Rainbow Treecare Scientific if you have questions

regarding a specific pest management protocol. Xytect is labeled for efficacy on these key pests:

Measure Tree Diameter at Breast Height (DBH)

Xytect dosage is determined by measuring the diameter of a tree at breast height (DBH). The DBH is a standard

measurement of a tree’s diameter at 4�?6�? above the soil. Measure the DBH of a tree with a diameter tape (D-Tape).

If using a standard measuring tape divide the measurement by 3.14 to get the diameter.

Compatibility with other Chemicals

�? Xytect 2F and Xytect 75WSP insecticides are compatible with many commonly used fungicides, miticides,

liquid fertilizers, and other insecticides. If tank mixing Xytect with a product for the first time, check physical

compatibility by using the correct proportions of each product in a small jar test.

�? Do not use Xytect 75WSP packets in a tank mix with other products that contain boron or release free

chlorine. The resultant reaction forms a plastic which is not soluble in water or solvents such as kerosene,

gasoline, or alcohol. Do not use the Xytect 75WSP packets directly in diesel oils or horticultural oils because

they are not oil-soluble.

�? Use of chlorinated water is acceptable.

�? Whenever Xytect is to be tank-mixed into any solution containing a liquid fertilizer, the user should completely

dissolve the Xytect first before adding the fertilizer.

�? Do not apply through any irrigation system.

Additives

When spraying the foliage of hard to wet species such as holly, pine, or ivy the use of a speader/sticker (surfactant)

is recommended. These are available from your local distributor. Always follow the manufacturer’s label directions.

Xytect 2F Soil Application Mixing Instructions

Soil application of Xytect can be done in several ways: as a sub-surface soil drench, soil injection or by a surface soil drench at the

root collar. All application methods must be aimed at getting the product into the active root zone for quick systemic uptake. Soil

applications can be made whenever the ground is not frozen. Xytect 2F is versatile and may be applied using a wide range

of water volumes. The amount of recommended water may be adjusted as needed.

Within each Xytect 75WSP package are clear packets containing Xytect 75WSP insecti-

mixing reservoir.

�? DO NOT allow packets to become wet prior to adding to the reservoir tank.

�? DO NOT handle the Xytect 75WSP packets with wet hands or wet gloves.

�? Rough handling of the packets may cause breakage.

�? Reseal Xytect 75WSP package to protect the remaining packets.

Soil Drench Application

Step 1: Inspect the Tree and Soil

�? Correctly identify the target pest

�? Determine if timing is right for treatment

�? Irrigate if tree is severely drought stressed

(do not saturate soil)

Step 2: Determine DBH

�? Follow instructions on Page 3 for

accurate measurement

�? Remove any landscape fabric, mulch and leaf litter

prior to application.

Step 3: Excavate Trench Around

Base of Tree (not needed for surface drenches)

�? Excavate a small trench that is 2�? - 3�? deep and 4

inches wide.

�? Go deeper if there is a potential of run-off.

�? Go deeper if the soil is a heavy clay or is compacted.

�? Keep the excavated soil on the outside on the trench.

Step 4: Mix and Pour Xytect Around

Base of Tree

�? Follow mixing instructions

�? Apply Xytect by pouring evenly around the whole tree.

�? After the Xytect has been completely absorbed in the

soil fill and firmly pack soil down to prevent runoff.

Step 5: Record and Keep Application

Information

�? Keep a record of the following:

1. Tree Species

2. Target Pest

3. Tree DBH

4. Dosage - including any additives and water

5. Soil Type and Condition - e.g. compact, wet, etc

6. Tree Tag Number (if used)

7. Tree Location, consider GPS

Soil Injection Application

Xytect may be applied with many different soil injection systems. The following are instructions on using the HTI 2000.

See HTI 2000 Soil Injector Instructions included with the injector for more determining information.

Step 1: Follow directions on Pages 4, 5, and 6 for deteriming dosage

Step 2: Place probe tip into soil no more than 6�? - 12�? away from the trunk

250 ml, release the Fill

Button when Volume Meter

indicates desired amount.

Step 4: Apply dose to soil

by pressing the Inject Button

�? If Xytect begins moving up

and out of the hole, stop the Digital Injection Counter

application at that site and

continue application at a new site. Reduce the pressure. If the problem persists,

consider Basal Drench Application (Page 6).

�? The Digital Injection Counter will automatically keep track of the number of times the

chamber has been fully evacuated.

�? Evenly apply the Xytect around the tree until required number of injection sites have been applied.

Step 5: When the entire application is complete for each tree press the Reset Button to set

the counter back to zero.

Step 6: At the end of the application day run approximately 1000 ml of

water through the HTI 2000 to clean it, using the same Fill and Inject Buttons

used during application. Always evacuate all material from the chamber and

clean before storing.
