Q.How To Apply Mancozeb To Norway Maple Trees To Prevent Tar Spot On Leaves
I have some Manzate 200 wettable powder (80% mancozeb). Please advise solution mixing strength and if a sticking product (such as liquid dish soap) can used. Should the mixture be applied to the tree trunk or as a soil drench? What is the best time of the year to apply in the Mississauga, Ontario (zone 5) area? Any other useful information would be appreciated. Thank you.

The article below gives amounts to use, plus follow the instructions on the Manzate container. The Manzate instructions say to use a spreader-sticker if needed. You will spray it on the leaves beginning at bud break. See more below:
