So recently somebody said that Azamax was systemic and was very angry when I said I didn't think it was. Azamax claims this....
"This is extracted from the neem seed kernel, through patented extraction technology. AzaMax® works systemically to provide greater bio-efficacy against a broad spectrum of Insect-Pests including foliar sucking and defoliating insect-pest complex, mites and soil-borne insectpests & nematodes. AzaMax® formulation possesses important features such as UV stability and shelf stability of 2 years. AzaMax® is OMRI listed and licensed in all 50 states."
Maybe I am wrong but I thought systemic meant that it would move through the plant and tissues. For example, you could use it in feeding and it would work it's way up the plant and treat the whole plant. That has never been my experience with Azamax. I have always used it as a contact killer with some residual effects. So what gives? Is the meaning of systemic not what I believe it to be or is this just a sales pitch by the company? Has anybody been able to use it like a systemic working pesticide?
