Is this product a systemic plant insecticide

Yes it is. Keep in mind that does not mean it will kill or control everything.

As far as I know it is ok. Miniature Elms don't like systemic insecticides inhibits growth and can kill smell trees (bonsai) just don't lover dose.

No. Rust is caused by a fungus. This product contains imidacloprid which is a systemic insecticide, absorbed through the ground or the surface of the plant. It has no activity against fungi, to my knowledge. Works great against pine bark beetle and spruce scale , both major evergreen killers in my part of the country.

I used this product on prostrate yews, a ground-hugging shrub. When I applied the Bonide, I drenched the ground starting at the trunk and going two feet out. Since this is a systemic pesticide, the idea is to have the vascular system wick the pesticide up into the plant, where it will protect the plant from the inside out, so to speak. Hope this is helpful.

It means it is absorbed into the plant. Systemic means it is spread throughout the plant and protects itself from the fungus and the diseases that attack the it.

My gut feel is no.. because the insecticide is absorbed and kills insects eating the bark and leaves, it's also going to be in the flowers and fruit.. Just to be sure I went out to look at the label.. it very clearly says "not for trees raised for food".. If you have fruit tress with problems, topical sprays before the fruit set are the only way.. or buy lady bugs and preying mantis and release in the spring.

Their website says they use insecticides on their trees and insects to control pests. I'm so disappointed! My order is on the way. Now I will have to return it.

Don't know the exact chemistry butI do not believe it contains insecticides which is one of the reasons I purchased it. The active ingredient is as you said is a bacilus (BT) which attacks and kills the larvae of several kinds of catapillers. I can tell you it absolutely works on the Sweet Broom moth larvae. In less than a week a total infestation was gone and healthy growth resumed. I think it is recommended for every two or three weeks but the concentration is 1-2 tbs/gallon so it goes a long way. Also seems to be effective on tomato worms/larvae. Good luck!

I would not do so. Being systemic, you place it on the soil, when watering it seeps into soil, the plant takes it in, and bugs will die by eating the plant. Therefore, although not an expert, I would say NO.

I've gotten in to a running dialogue with Bonide on what plants its safe to use on. They say its safe for all plants. Thing is, I used it on my Epiphyllums and several weaks later they did not look well at all. They are slowly coming back. I did see leaf drop and leaf discoloration on other plants after using it. I can say there are no bugs. I hate dealing with scale which is the reason I decided to give it a try.

Fairly standard for any insecticide or arachnicide . Too long to list here but probably similar to DEET.. Main active ingredients are pyrthrins.

Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!! I sprayed this product as stated on the label; soaking the leaves of the infected plants. Within a couple of days, I noticed a great improvement. I kept using the product and am now bug free. To answer your question, I had to re-read the packaging. And yes, it states that it is effective against spider mites. Good Luck in your fight. (And not to dispute anyone), but I tried a dish liquid and ammonia mix. It work for a while. But what I didn't realize was that the nasty little buggers were making colonies on all my plants. I had to get tough!!! Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!!

I don't believe they are. I hope they don't because I don't use pesticides. The package doesn't have the ingredients listed. It does say it is an earth friendly product. Their website is seabrightlabs.com I love them and they help a lot in the garden.

After reading about the toxicity of the ingredients, I never used it. I went for DEET instead, although not so great for us as well. There are natural insect repellants.

I think this systemic pesticide will not harm your succulents and would be an effective pesticide. Just be aware that the plant absorbs the pesticide and then bugs will be killed when they suck on the plant's fluids. This also means that the plant will be poisonous to you as well, so if you are going to spray aloe plants, don't use them for burns while the toxin is effective. Here's some more information: http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/gardens-gardening/your-garden/help-for-the-home-gardener/advice-tips-resources/pests-and-problems/insects/mealybugs/insect-pests-of-cacti-and-succulents.aspx I think this systemic pesticide will not harm your succulents and would be an effective pesticide.

The active ingredient in this product is acetamiprid and as far as I know is most commonly used directly on the foliage. It is a systemic neonicotinoid but unlike others in its class it does not remain viable for more than a few weeks in soil. If you want to use something that gets from the soil to the roots and into the leaves, consider another in the same class like imidacloprid. It is similar to this product in its activity against pests but lasts much longer and is definitely used effectively for soil application around the tree.

I have examined the bottle label and see a note stating" Information regarding the contents and levels of metals in this product is available on the Internet at http://www.regulatory-info-ba.com When applied as directed, this product meets the guidelines for metals adopted by Association of American Plant Control Officials. I hope this may be of some help in answering the question regarding Bayer Advanced All-In-One Rose & Flower Care Concentrated 3 Systemic Products in 1.;
