Joe,

I sprayed my citrus today and a few roses. I have a lot of other fruit and nut trees. I plan to try AZ41 on them too. Are there any plants that should not be sprayed?

I just use a small spray bottle with about two cups of milk and a tablespoon of baking soda. Spray weekly. We spray a couple times per week during an outbreak.

Helix,

For plants on full bloom, do not spray directly on the open blooms. So that means, no spraying during peak blooms unto the open flowers. Buds or those that have fallen petals should be okay to spray to.

We have not found any plant that is incompatible with AZ41. After all, AZ41 is a bio-stimulant that has macro and micro nutrients needed by plants.

I just came back from a family vacation. The first thing I checked was my plants. I am surprised how wonderful they look. My citrus plants have never looked so good specially Joe's clemenule and my Washington navel. Both of them are in full bloom of new buds. Not a single deformity due to aphids. No sign of aphids or other insects. My papaya, tomatoes and Fuji apples which in the past have full of aphids white flies and powdery mildew are the same way. There are No signs of bugs in them.

In the past I struggled every year with aphids, powdery mildew and white flies. I used every product in the book but no dice. None of them works.
NO MORE.
I attribute all of this to AZ41.
I used all kinds of insecticides before but none came up close as effective as AZ41.
I think this product will be as famous as barbie doll.
So watch out Joe.
You will be inundated with orders once they found out how effective your product is.
So, please save me some.

Thanks Benny!

Our major market for now are the commercial crop growers in just a few communities in the central valley of California. We sold out on our stock for the commercial growers and it will be one week before the next batch will be finished processing. Our recent orders of 6,000 big bottles just went to 5 farmers and we have to "borrow" from them to fill some of our online orders while waiting for the next batch.

I ran out of small bottles last night. Will make more tonight. We will be buying automatic bottling machine soon. Our online sales to the hobbyists have not built up that much yet, considering that we just started a few weeks ago, while marketing and testing at farmers fields are four years ahead.

We don't foresee that our marketing to hobbyists will ever be a money maker because it is a lot of work for us at this stage, without some automation of fulfilling orders of one or two bottles at a time. In other words, we won't be able to recoup all of our expenses while marketing to the hobbyist group unless we invested heavily more on automation as demand picks up. But I suggested this to the board and got approval for it, because I am excited to share what our commercial growers have been enjoying.

Here's the results in Anders Farms in Orisi, California. The left side was sprayed with AZ41 two weeks ago, the right side received no spray. These are Perlette grapes. Farmers love side by side trials, literally. I wish I had closeup on what has happened at the right side. The grapes on the right side were not sprayed and are suffering from mealy scale infestations and you have some dying leaves in there. Photo was taken using iPhone, so it's a little bit blurry.

Just sprayed all of my citrus & veg garden. I will let you know how it works out. I have a load of white flies so keep your fingers crossed.

At the present time my trees are in full bloom so I will wait until the fruit has formed before spraying.

Joe the grape pictures are very interesting. I am looking forward to using AZ41 on my grapes. My vineyard, just a little over an acre of grapes, is still dormant, in fact we are getting another snow storm tonight, and the snow is supposed to continue throughout tomorrow (Friday) and into Saturday. Looking at about 15+ or- inches of snow, -- would like more, I will take all I can get. Small business takes a lot of work, I hope you wind up a millionaire. That would be great. take care. - Millet (1,374-)

Millet, we have specific spraying schedule for the grapes. You would start when you have about 4" to 6" of stem growth pushing out. So it would be a long time. I owe you 2 big bottles (2-liter) of AZ41 for the goodies you've sent me. It will come as soon as we get the next batch manufactured.

My family is in Maui also. You guys might have bumped into eachother. They're coming home a little later than you are though, but I suspect you might have gotten there before they did.

I planted some bare root concord grapes after I moved in. They're just starting to sprout. I'm looking forward to using some AZ41 on them.

We stayed at Sands of Kahana around North of the Island. We were there last year. We just used our Time Share for this year. It's just like living rich for 7 days. But personally time share is not worth the money. Too expensive to keep.
But we enjoyed our stay very much. My kids surf boarding a lot and we saw shows and snorkel on a boat ride. And we went to downtown a lot in Lahaina Kahului and Kehei. My wife does not want to go back anymore.
Yes, we might have bumped each other there. Who knows.

I agree with your wife Benny. When I went to Hawaii, I tried to get an early ticket out, but the flight was sold out. Hawaii is much to plastic for me. Tourist absolutely everywhere. - Millet (1,270-)

We went to the big island as a kid, but I haven't been back either. At the time, I didn't think that the tourism issue was any worse than my trips to Yosemite and Yellowstone, but I think part of it depends on which island you go to. I had fun parasailing and horseback riding, but even that was coming to an end since the land the hoseback rides were being held on was being sold out to make a golf course.
