i have seen some old posts on orthene and i am wondering
if anyone has used the product or knows about amounts
to apply and mixing ratios used with success. i want to
be ready for the battle of the bugs this year, especially
the svb because sevin does nicely for the cuke bugs, but
the borer got me last year.

Shazzy,

I've treated with Merit 75WP already. Will again soon.

Orthene in theory would perform nearly as well. 1 Tbsp per gallon of water, More of a foliar absorbed material than Merit.

Merit is slower on the uptake through the roots, but more effective. 4 Teaspoons per 1000 sq ft. in 1-2 gallons of water.

If you can get it, Furadan is the best there is.
