ArborPlex can be applied through soil drench, root injection or foliar feeding. It may be
applied alone or tank mixed with other products. Shake well before using.
Root Injection:
Dilution Rate: Mix 1.25 gallons (160 oz.) of ArborPlex per 100-gallon tank. Apply 2-4 times
per year or as needed.
Operating pressure: 150 – 200 lbs PSI or ½ gal per 4 seconds
Area Method:
Trees: Apply 50 gallons of solution per 1,000 sq. ft. Inject 4-8 inches into the soil where the feeder roots typically occur. Begin injections 1-3 feet out from the trunk to avoid injury
to large roots and work in a grid pattern away from the tree to within 2 feet of the drip
line. Apply 1 pint (16 fl. oz.) of diluted solution per injection site at 18 inch spacing or ½
gallon (64 fl. oz.) of diluted solution per injection site at 3 foot spacing.
Shrubs: Apply 50 gallons of solution per 1,000 sq. ft. Inject one pint (16 fl. oz.) of diluted
solution per injection site. Inject 4-6 inches into the soil with 18 inch spacing between
injections.
DBH Method: Use the chart below to determine the volume of diluted solution to apply per
inch of trunk diameter at breast height (DBH).
