I recently added a 5 gallon bucket to the sprayer trailer and piped it to the pump. I also added two 50 ft X 5/8" garden hose (100 ft) fitted with a spray wand. .... It take just over 4 gal of spray for the corn. The last spray for the corn was just before ears started showing and when the stalks were tasseling.
Well, I'm trying to keep it organic if I can. I didn't know they still made Malathion. I still have some, I think. Diazinon too, along with the good stuff from the 60's and 70's that I save for emergencies and long term applications, like building a house or an invasion of fire ants.
