soil drench questions

8 years ago

The time has come to treat the Phytophthora on my Mexican sweet lime. Got the Agri-fos, got my sprayer, did a google on how to do a soil drench....and got totally confused!

Am I doing this to rid the soil of the fungus, or am I applying this as a systemic for the tree to fight off the fungus? Should i be drenching the area all around the tree, or should I just do the root zones? How much is a drench? I am now thinking i should mix it in a pail and pour it over the ground all around the tree, because my sprayer is just a regular one gallon sprayer that is pretty weak!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Got my gloves and shoes on, ready to go!
