  • Systemic protection throughout the tree

Disease Management

Combat fungal and bacterial diseases effectively

  • Fungicide applications for disease prevention
  • Curative treatments for existing infections
  • Combination products for comprehensive protection
  • Targeted treatments for specific pathogens

Nutritional Support

Address nutrient deficiencies and improve tree health

  • Iron and zinc supplements for chlorosis
  • Manganese treatments for nutrient uptake
  • Complete fertilizer formulations
  • Micronutrient corrections for specific deficiencies

Professional Application Process

Follow these simple steps for effective tree injection treatments. Mauget is truly the "RIGHT WAY TO TREAT A TREE."

1

Tree Measurement

Measure tree at breast height (DBH) in inches to determine capsule requirements

Divide diameter by 2, or circumference by 6, to establish number of capsules needed

2

Site Preparation

Drill 11/64" holes approximately 6" apart at the tree base

Avoid root valleys and ensure holes reach healthy xylem (white wood)

3

Capsule Preparation

Compress capsules by hand or use Mauget compression tool

Apply appropriate pressure to activate the injection system

4

Feeder Tube Installation

Insert feeder tube onto capsule with gunsight facing upward

Ensure proper alignment for optimal injection performance

5

Injection Process

Place capsule and feeder tube into drilled holes

Tap capsule to seat feeder tube and puncture membrane interface

6

Monitoring & Removal

Monitor uptake and remove empty capsules promptly

Uptake usually occurs within several minutes to a few hours

Dosage Guidelines

Proper dosage is critical for treatment effectiveness. Follow these guidelines based on tree size and species.

Capsule Size Selection Guide

Choose the appropriate capsule size based on tree diameter at breast height (DBH)

2-10 inches DBH

2mL capsules
Standard spacing
Ideal for young trees and smaller specimens

10-36 inches DBH

3mL capsules
Standard spacing
Most common size for mature landscape trees

36+ inches DBH

4mL capsules
Standard spacing
Large mature trees requiring higher dosage

24+ inches DBH (Evergreens)

6mL capsules
4-inch circumference spacing
Narrow-leaved evergreens (pine, spruce, hemlock)

Important Considerations

  • • For heavier infestations, use 4mL capsules on all tree sizes
  • • Trees in advanced stages of infestation may not respond to treatment
  • • Round down to lower whole number if calculation results in fraction
  • • Tree health, species, and environmental conditions affect uptake rate

Special Application Considerations

Different tree types require specific application techniques for optimal results.

Palm Trees & Monocotyledons

  • Use multiple injection sites with alternating drilling depths
  • Capture scattered vascular bundles effectively
  • Limit depth to less than 1/3 the diameter of the tree
  • Single injection site can accommodate multiple capsules with one feeder tube

Conifer Species

  • Place injection sites higher on trunk (36-48") during growing season
  • Account for high resin pressure in conifers
  • Drill to depth of up to 2 inches where tree diameter allows
  • Use 6mL capsules for trees over 24" DBH

Trees with Thin Bark

  • Use 7/64" drill bit for trees with bark less than 3/8" thick
  • Utilize mini-micro feeder tubes for optimal results
  • Consider mini-micro insertion tool for precise placement
  • Ensure proper depth to reach cambium tissue

Safety & Environmental Benefits

Mauget's closed system approach provides superior safety and environmental protection compared to traditional methods.

Professional Safety

  • Use the Mauget system as the preferred choice of professionals, governments, and institutions
  • Fully enclosed (closed system) presents low risk compared to other treatment methods
  • Can be applied near environmentally sensitive areas where sprays cannot

System Advantages

  • No expensive, complex equipment required - only a cordless drill needed
  • No mixing required - products come ready to use
  • Precise application eliminates waste and environmental contamination
