Hi,
My macadamia nut tree has fungus on most of the leaves and has dropped a lot of leaves.
I've also got a sooty mold problem on my citrus trees.
Searching the web for a non toxic solution has suggested using a baking soda & neem oil solution for the fungus; and using a neem oil solution for the sooty mold.
For simplicity I plan to use the same solution for both:
Fungicide recipe per quart / litre of water:
1.5 TBLS / 22mL baking soda
1.0 TBLS / 15mL neem oil
2.0 TBLS / 30mL castile soap (emulsifier for oil/water)
3-6 TBLS / 45-90mL of neem oil per 1000 sq ft of orchard
I found one site that indicated I could use a garden hose sprayer to easily access the whole tree.
Has anyone ever used this type of recipe for a fungicide?
Has anyone ever used a garden hose sprayer to apply a fungicide?
Any ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Best Regards,
Steve
