Plant Health Care

At Mayer Tree Service, Inc., Our Plant Health Care service preserves the health and beauty of trees and shrubs. Our Plant Health Care programs offer an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to insect and disease management. We use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment.

Fertilization:

Deep Root Fertilizations are injections of nutrients to improve vigor of plant and tree health. Deep root fertilization is a process where a high quality nutrient solution is injected into the root zone of the trees. The soil injection begins just below the surface and goes to a depth of 8-12 inches. Soil injection sites are placed about 2 or 3 feet apart in a grid pattern. The materials are injected into the root zone under pressure which helps aerate or provide much needed oxygen to the root system.

Mauget Injection:

Mauget injection is a micro-injection directly into the plant. This applies fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides directly into the sap stream of the tree.

Mauget injections are an environmentally friendly way to apply pesticides to trees. This means the chemical is contained entirely within the tree. Only pests feeding on the tree are directly affected.

Horticultural Oil:

Horticultural oil products are added to water and sprayed onto the surface of plants to control damaging insects. Oil sprays are applied to plants when insect pests are in susceptible stages of growth.
