`/"), OF SUN Pr <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 />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 />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 />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 />Royal Palms: As a preventative measure, apply a Merit systemic insecticide root <br />drench on all Royal Palms with a follow-up within 21 days, twice per year. In <br />addition, apply a foliar application of Imidacloprid or Safari, or approved equal, <br />once per year. Drench head of palm until runoff occurs and repeat foliar spray <br />within 21 days. Follow manufacturers' recommendations regarding application <br />methods and rates. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to perform monthly <br />evaluations of all Royal Palms to keep them healthy. <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach I ITB 20-08-01 Right -of -Ways and Facilities Landscape Maintenance Services <br />
