Neem oil and wettable Sulfer use
Comments (3)No oil should be sprayed close to sulphur, that includes neem. After a hard rain you don't need to wait any longer, and if you sprayed the oil first you can spray the sulphur a few days later as all the spray oils evaporate in a few days. Oil can often be put down as little as a week after sulphur depending on rainfall, sticker used, etc. Neither neem nor sulphur will eliminate CAR. I know, I used nothing else for ten years. Here is a study which shows they reduce the incidence by half: study Scott...See Moreneem oil when and how to use on fruit trees.
Comments (7)"The method of processing is likely to affect the composition of the oil, since the methods used, such as pressing (expelling) or solvent extraction are unlikely to remove exactly the same mix of components in the same proportions. The neem oil yield that can be obtained from neem seed kernels also varies widely in literature from 25% to 45%." wikipedia I was refering to how its pressed. Quite a few people told me it matters how it is pressed. You may want to double check yourself...See MoreUse neem oil with emulsifier or not?
Comments (3)the concentrate lists 70% neem and 30% other, so I wonder if it has emulsifier in the 30%? As a side note, I also wonder why you can have a RTU neem product, whereas when you mix from concentrate, the product degrades within a short time frame?...See MoreHelp!

Comments (38)Gardengal, I have known you for years and in fact you and I have had the same mentor to get to where we are! We have a history here, on the Hoya, Cactus, Containers, Rose, Fragrant, Houseplant, and many other forums! Please, for what it's worth, there are members here that far surpass the "mules" as you say that REALLY appreciate the gifts you have to offer including me, I do, and a whole handful that have been nothing but kind and eager to learn, not to mention any names. I agree, there are at time mules here, but then so too at the Cactus Forums and others, a reason why I stopped posting there for a while and many other forums. Promised myself I was not going to give myself that lost opportunity to help others despite what a slight handful might act like or say and that is why I am posting up a storm there again....One thing I did promise myself is that I will never stop being kind or helping those of the general population here or any other place in which the majority far outweigh the few. You and I go way back and I know as you know I do that there are many innocent good hearted ones that watch us through closed doors, hang around but never post, lurk, and even post that truly appreciate all that we do and share. As a plea to you, please don't leave here for the sake of a few, but continue to be a gem here on this forum and the many others that you have made a huge impact on, including on what I know. Sounds good? You of all people I believe will not disappoint nor the many others that truly have a soft spot for you, me just as our mentor Al have never. You and I know he never gives up on the many that DO appreciate good help that many need to know. From Me to you, one member here that has always respected and appreciated your offerings. We need people like you here! )) E- ail anytime if need be mikerno_1@yahoo.com...See MoreArmageddon
