Why did you choose this?

Used product before and like the product.

used before with good results

Stark Bros. sells it for getting my trees ready for spring.

A must-have fruit tree spray.

similar uses like bonide all season horticultural and dormant spray?

Yes. I used this to get rid of scale on a magnolia tree. Worked like a charm

Is this a good spray for the lawn for moss in the Northwest?

I'm not sure, because the label doesn't mention any application directions for use on lawns. Because it is a violation of Federal Law to use the product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling, I'd have to recommend finding a spray that is specifically intended for use on lawns to control moss.

Is this corn oil or soybean oil?

This is 80% mineral oil.

Can we put a fungicide in with the oil ?

Horticultural oil can be used alone as a dormant oil, or it may be added to fungicides or bactericides as a spray adjuvant. Combining Horticultural oil with a copper fungicide will greatly reduce diseases such as coryneum blight or peach leaf curl.

Is this to be mixed with water?

Hi Virginia, Yes this product is to be mixed with water.

how many oz in this bottle?

This bottle contains 32 oz. of concentrate.

Is the pint of horticultural oil  a concentrated?

Yes it is very thick and white and very concentrated. There are specific amounts listed in the instructions depending on what you are using it on.
There's also specific instructions on the best times of year to spray. We do our trees 3 times over the winter mixed with the copper.

We are having rain 12 hours after application. Do I need to reapply? Tree is still dormant.

The safe answer is yes. I clipped the following from the internet, just to help you understand my answer.

A good time to apply dormant oil is right after a period of rain or foggy weather. Don't apply to drought-stressed trees or to any tree during fog, rain or during or prior to hot or freezing weather. If it rains within hours of application, reapply the treatment.

Good luck!

How to mix?

You will need to follow the label directions. Under the description it will have an option to download the label.

Will this product deter Japanese Beetles?

The product is effective against Japanese beetles, but you will likely have to reapply. And depending on how many you have it may not take care of the problem. Hope this helps you.
