This high profile European Olive -Olea europaea, is located at 130 Lonsdale Street in Melbourne’s CBD. It was severely infested at treatment and was suffering from root disturbance during building works.
Micro injection with Ema-ject® at label rates is demonstrating high efficacy in controlling this pest and others in olives. Further label additions for both amenity and agricultural applications are pending.
The product is a unique water soluble formulation of Emamectin Benzoate, again it has demonstrated its high systemicity in woody plant species.
