The label check runs this list against the host, the pest, the month, the dose, and the last application on the tree before a prescription goes out.
Where it fits
Any Agrilus borer on a tree worth two years of protection. The emerald ash borer program is the model: inject in spring on an ash with most of its canopy, re-inject in two years, for as long as the beetle is in the county. Two-lined chestnut borer on a stressed oak and pine wilt on a Scots pine run the same way. On a tree that has lost more than half its crown, quote the removal instead.

What does Agrilicide treat?
The label lists 40 target pests or diseases. The treatment guides on this site that use it: bagworms, emerald ash borer, bronze birch borer, two lined chestnut borer, japanese beetle, pine wilt. Each guide has the rate, the timing window, and the alternatives.
Where do these numbers come from?
The PHC Rx product catalog, built from the Agrilicide label linked above, and synced to this page from the app. The label is the legal document; if the two disagree, the label wins and the catalog gets fixed.
