Trilogy (neem oil) works via contact and ingestion. It reduces insect feeding and acts as a repellent. It also interferes with insect hormone systems, making it harder for insects to grow and lay eggs. Ground or air application. Use enough water to completely cover plants. Maintain constant agitation in spray equipment. Repeat applications every 7-14 days as needed. Don’t apply to stressed plants and use with care on plants with tender tissue. There is potential for leaf burn. Similar neem oil products are available, but use rates vary.
