Yeah Tim, first off the EmBen cost over 500$ for a liter. Think a liter of coke.....500$. Also the equipment can cost from 500$ to 2k$ I think I was told. Anyway this is the same situation when I was raped buying the past current savior product known as Safari last year(which has fallen from grace). If I remember correctly I paid over 400$ for a granular liter that treated very few trees. We can guess who is making the big $ (not us field guys). I correspond with a lead researcher at Ohio State and the tested data on the Tree ("Ahge") product was high nineties in one test and mid seventies in another. Very good but not perfect like it will need to be under high pressure (heavy infestation). It tested very similar to injected immidacloprid.
Hey, if you ve got ten bugs attacking the tree and you re getting hit 3 times (in 70 percent scenerio)....no problem. But if you ve got a thousand of the little shits hitting and 300 are successful it is curtains and I have witnessed this as I am sure you have in Mich.
I guess the top treatments are injections of Immid or EmBen. But what about the injection wounds. Not a small consideration.
