This report provides data showing that the superior oil product Sunspray 6E Plus is highly effective against the woolly larch adelgid, cottony maple scale, calico scale, golden oak scale, boxwood psyllid, honeylocust plant bug, sycamore lace bug, European pine sawfly, and the euonymus webworm. Poor to no effect is reported here against adults of the sycamore plant bug, adults and larvae of the imported willow leaf beetle, and Japanese beetle. Phytotoxicity data are also included.
