When can basal sprays generally be applied?

Basal sprays can be applied at any time during the year, regardless of the plant's growth status. This method is particularly effective because it targets the base of the plant, where the pesticide can be absorbed through the bark and then transported throughout the plant, allowing for effective control of pests and diseases.

Applying basal sprays at different times of the year can be advantageous based on various factors, such as pest life cycles, specific control needs, and environmental conditions. For instance, treating during dormancy can help prevent issues before the active growing season and ensure that pests are managed effectively.

While there are scenarios where specific timing may be recommended based on the plants or the pests you are dealing with, the versatility of basal sprays allows them to be utilized effectively at any point in the year. This flexibility is crucial for ensuring the health and management of vegetation in right-of-way areas.
