Infuse usage

[Sagebrush]

Anyone ever used Bionide Infuse for disease prevention in bonsai.? Have used Daconil before but like the idea of systematic if practical.

Depending on how many plants you have the and whether you can store for next year, the hardware stores might not be the best option, as they are always a very dilute version. Look online for the active ingredient and you will find it 10x strength in most cases.
This one can act as a hormone in some species, causing excessive growth.

I use the Infuse granular version instead of spraying. The granules are basically just clay particles saturated with Infuse. I sprinkle a tablespoon of particles on the soil surface and water it tob”activate” the fungicide. A treatment is good for about a month and I apply in the late spring as the temps and humidity begin to increase and then later in early summer. I especially make sure to apply to my pobes just before the candles start to expand and the needles form. I get it from Amazon.com .

I use a little bit of infuse granules in the saucers under my willows, aspens.

I'll second what @WNC Bonsai said, it's the only thing that finally worked on a crabapple that suffered from fungal issues for years neither Daconil or copper sulfate ever touched it.

Also works great to prevent needle cast on new pine growth.

Big fan of the infuse. I use it and a granular insecticide twice a year. Been pest and fungus free ever since. 3 years running.

Infuse is the best preventative I’ve used. Really small one hand pots get 1/2 lvl teaspoon. Larger one hand pots get a teaspoon. Larger 2 hand pots get 1 tablespoon. Maybe 2. Bjorn gives a Good dosage recommendation on one of his videos on deciduous and broadleafs. His guide is what I follow

Yup I apply Infuse granular to my trees, especially pines and juniper
