OTC injections are on an “As Needed” basis and will <br />be considered a “Supplemental Service.” <br /> <br />Date Palms (Phoenix dactylifera, Phoenix canariensis & Phoenix sylvestris): <br />Date Palm pest control contractor must be a State of Florida licensed pest control <br />operator with a minimum of five years of experience in this type of work with Date <br />Palms in South Florida. <br /> <br />Disease Control: Three times per year all Date Palms will be treated with a <br />systematic fungicide(s). These applications will be performed as <br />a root/soil drench during the months of March/April, <br />July/August, and November/December and are considered to be <br />preventive maintenance. Contractor is responsible to follow <br />manufacturer’s recommendations for rates and quantities. <br />Soil/root drench utilizing “T-Storm” or “Cleary’s 3336” fungicide <br />combined with either “Subdue Max” or “Chip-co-Aliette” and <br />“Mancocide”. For every other application alternate between <br />Subdue and Aliette. Take steps to ensure that the fungicide <br />doesn’t run off but is instead absorbed into the root system. <br /> <br /> In the event Thielaviopsis paradoxa is identified in any of the <br />palms and/or has infected a palm in close proximity to the <br />subject palms, commence top to bottom trunk drenches utilizing <br />T-Storm OR Cleary’s 3336. Perform these trunk drenches <br />concurrently to the root/soil drenches. Continue this <br />requirement until such time as infected host palms have been <br />removed from the proximity of the subject palms. Top to <br />bottom fungicide trunk drenches are on an “As Needed” basis <br />and will be considered a “Supplemental Service.” <br /> <br /> Should symptoms of Ganoderma develop on any palm, diseased <br />palms shall be immediately removed and discarded in a landfill. <br />If Ganoderma is detected in the form of visible conks, to <br />mitigate the risk of disease translocation, immediately drench <br />the entire conk with undiluted Chlorine bleach and then carefully <br />separate them from the trunk, contain them in a ziplock bag and <br />discard them at a landfill. Remove the host palm from the site <br />as soon as possible. Contractor shall regularly inspect all palms <br />for the presence of conks. Should any evidence or suspicion of <br />the presence of Ganoderma become evident, Contractor shall <br />immediately notify the City. <br /> <br /> Palms that express symptoms or suspected symptoms of <br />disease such as phytoplasma, lethal yellowing, etc. shall be <br />immediately sampled and sent the the University of Florida Plant <br />Disease Diagnostic Clinic.
