The active ingredients—15% thyme oil, 55% corn oil—are safe to handle, and the product can be used weekly through the season as a foliar spray or root drench to keep fungal and insect pests at bay. As a preventive, use 1 fl oz per gal water. To address an active infestation or infection, increase the mix rate to 3 fl oz per gal water. We recommend first testing your solution on a few leaves and observing for 2 days; discontinue use if you see signs of burning. Do not use it on newly planted cuttings or on plants stressed by drought, and avoid application when temp exceeds 90°. Stop applications 2–3 weeks prior to harvesting your crop to ensure all the oil has broken down. As with any horticultural oil, do not apply this product when bees are actively foraging, and avoid applying within 30 days of sulfur-based fungicides. Exempt from EPA registration. Please see pesticide label here. 8712B is a 250ml size for smaller operations.
