Just be aware that if you are using any kind of pre-dissolved insecticide or fungicide,
you will be washing it off the plant where it will do no good. For these kinds of sprays, you may
want to mix in a 'sticker' substance to assure it won't be washed away by rain or sprinkling. Also,
time your spraying so there is no rain predicted for
a few days so the sprays can do their work.

Hi all
I am going to ask another why question.
Why is it soo important that you water after you applied Fertilizers and Bug
control



To wash the chemical where needed in case of granular fertilizer and I
would guess to help reduce chance of burning the leaves. For granular
insecticide the chemical is "washed" off the granules to form a uniform
application. For liquid insecticide treatment it's not a bad idea to
water before treatment, once again to help with a uniform application.

This last step is not necessary if you do a good job of mixing the chemicals
with water.
