ProCare PHC

ProCare “Single Comprehensive Treatment”

          Comprehensive care for plants susceptible to insect attack or affected by disease pathogens.

Note that one spray treatment, though very effective on many problems, can not be expected to eliminate all problems. 

This is a good starting point.  Application is completed in spring.
