With ash leaves fully leafed out, technicians will be out and about protecting this iconic shade tree from detrimental pests such as emerald ash borer. Product and equipment choice are important factors in a companies injection program and are only matched by an applicator’s technique. You can have the best equipment in the world, but it may not make much of a difference if you or your crews don’t know how to use it. Even though equipment and products have been improving and changing over the past years, the technique in which these products are applied is pretty consistent across the board. Sharp bits, injection sites at a 90-degree angle, and injecting into the root flare are key to ensuring the best possible results. With the release of our new product, Mectinite, we have linked to one of our past articles by Zach Stewart that highlights all the tips and tricks we’ve found for operating trunk injection programs at the highest level using our Q-Connect System.
