It is damn good, Shiva. I use it, although it's widely sold in
Australia under a different name (Rogor).


Daniel, where have you been? It's been forever. I recall your
mentioning Rogor, but not that it is the same as Cygon II.

Its control of thrips and aphids is perfect. Spider mites don't like it
but they are pretty resistant to it.


Good to know. I will try it on buds when the thrips start. It is fall
there, isn't it now? What have you been up to?

In earlier years I sprayed the infested bushes selectively, which worked
but allowed pest colonies to breed on neighbouring bushes, unseen. By
spraying all bushes at the first sign of infestation, I have sprayed
only twice this season - which is incredibly good.


The key is early application. I already blew that, but I'll try to
make it up.
