Surround® WP

Instructions for using a backpack or handheld sprayer: 

•  Mix 1/4 to 1/2 lb (approximately 3 cups) of Surround WP per one gallon of water. If your sprayer is not easy to shake, premix in a container and pour the mixture into your sprayer.

•  Add the powder slowly to approximately 1/4 of the water you will be using, stir and mix well by shaking vigorously for 30 seconds.

•  Add the remaining water and shake for an additional 30 seconds.

•  Shake the sprayer occasionally during application.

•  Thoroughly coat all leaf and fruit surfaces until they appear white.

•  When finished, spray until the sprayer is empty and flush the system. Leftover mix can be used within 2 weeks to avoid spoilage.
