Phytotoxicity trials were conducted on 6 species of ornamental plants at X, 2X and 4X rates. This corresponds to 0.45, 0.90 and 1.8 lb ai/100 gal of Lannate 1.8L. Treatments were applied on Jul 28 using a 1 gal B & G compressed air sprayer at 30 psi. Sprays were applied to run-off. Evaluation for possible injury was conducted on Aug 6 and 13. Temperature at the time of treatment was 75°F. Rainfall from Jul 29 to Aug 13 was 2.02 inches. No phytotoxicity was observed on any of the 6 species tested in this study.
