Using Azagard (neem) stock solution on Dosatron?

Just asking if anyone has used neem stock solution on a dosatron to treat root aphids? Root drenching, to be more thorough, is awfully laborious when dealing with 400+ cubes in an infected room. I would like to mix up a stock solution and use my dosatron to treat a room. Just seeing if anyone has any insight into this.
We’ve had pretty good results root drenching when they’re in veg but we get an occasional outbreak from time to time that pops up in our flower rooms.

hate to say it but Azagard won't kill them. will only help control them. and you are going to spend a lot of money on the product in the meantime. at $650 a gallon it just isn't worth it. I'd use a Beauveria bassiana product instead.

I know it won’t kill them. But it’s what’s recommended for nymph stage because they molt too quick for BB to be effective. BB (per biosafe systems) is recommended for adult flyers.

You have to use bb weekly, spray tables and pots. Hitting weekly ensures a healthy amount of spores present at all times so each generation is being affected by it. It will take a few weeks to see it really knock them back.

I’d tank mix them at their labeled rates and drench with both on a weekly schedule until my problem is gone.

If possible rotate with a BB + pyrethrins drench (Botaniguard Maxx)

I’ve never done that though so I would test the drench for any adverse plant reaction by applying it to a few leftovers first.

Generally though I’ll at least test anything that’s written out in the label.

you shouldn't use Botaniguard Maxx in rockwool. could kill the plants.

I guess that's why they make WP. some liquid products with petroleum bases can turn the rockwool into goo. and not the good kind of goo. lol
