            | TNTammy | Middle TN | I use cyonara contact insectice but it washes off so easily Im wondering if I need a systemic. Could I use Bayer Tree and Shrub on sunflowers? | 6/15/2011 4:07:46 PM | 
		
            | Engel's Great Pumpkins and Carvings | Menomonie, WI ([email protected]) | I have never had to spray sunflowers...as they are flowers and attract bugs...if the get aphids a good spraying with soapy water works wonders | 6/16/2011 9:25:10 PM |

            | bigbear09 | Mercersburg, PA | what rate have you been using with malathion?  i have been alternating bayer t&S with a bifenthrin product and may put malathion into the mix.  (I spray the whole pumpkin patch, indian corn and sunflowers) | 6/27/2011 12:06:41 PM |
