Tree Injection by a Professional Applicator for Emerald Ash Borer

This video by Cliff Sadof and John Obermeyer, Purdue Extension Entomology, demonstrates what homeowners can expect when a tree-care professional uses a trunk injection system to treat their trees for Emerald Ash Borer. The video describes how pesticide dosages are determined using tree DBH, how the pesticide is prepared for injection into the tree, and how the injection system is set up. It also describes weather effects on the rate of pesticide uptake. This video was submitted to the Extension category of the 2012 ESA YouTube Your Entomology contest.
