The solution can be placed in a sprayer for even and controlled application of the solution. Careful attention should be given to the undersides of leaves and stem areas as this is where pests like to stay. It should be noted that the solution should not be applied in direct sun or on overly warm days. In fact, it is suggested that these solutions be applied during early morning and evenings. After application, a grower will need to check for pests and then reapply if any are in sight after three days. When first applying, a grower should do a spot test to ensure that the plants can tolerate the solution.
