Tom.  Unfortunately this wonderful silver bullet (?) is not yet available in
Canada.  We are hoping to be part of the expanded trials next year.  Looks
like it will be 2 maybe 3 years before it is available in the great white
north.

Best regards,

     My response-------

     It comes as a wetable powder with instructions on how to mix.  It is
applied at two week intervals, in particular the prime application (or
prime pest pressures) are just prior to flower opening and at petal fall.
In more southern districts (where are you, anyway), 2-3 post petal
fall applicatons will most likely be required.
