Thanks for the response Ray. I've got the biology down, it's more along the end-user experience that I'm focusing on, I should have asked those guys right then and there.

I've been using Spinosin A/D with Monterey and am happy with it except for the fact it is fairly diluted, at 60 mL per gallon I'm going through the stuff relatively quickly.

And I started searching for alternatives. It seems this formulation with J/L is definitely newer, and from the body language and other cues I picked up from these laconic farmers at the store, they were pretty fired up about the product.

AFTER a fury of clicks I found the application rates, now I'm pretty fired up about it.

The range for different target insects is 30 to 60 mL in 100 L of water.

A LOT MORE CONCENTRATED than the 20 mL/L of the Monterey.

I'm gonna start my piggy bank.
