Product Guide
For Oak Wilt and Laurel Wilt Management
Product Category: Fungicide
Active Ingredient: Propiconazole 14.3%
Item #:1202
Unit Size: 1 Quart
Unit Treats: 47½”-95” DBH
Product Overview:
Alamo® is a tree injected systemic fungicide used for the
management of oak wilt and laurel wilt disease. Alamo®
should only be used as a prevention measure for laurel
wilt on red bay or oak wilt on oaks in the red oak family.
However, it can be used as a prevention or therapeutic
measure for oak wilt on oaks in the white or live oak
family.
How do I apply it?
Dilute Alamo® in water and apply as a root flare injection
using the Low Volume Macro-Infusion Pump equipment.
When do I apply it?
Oak Wilt: Application for red oaks and white oaks can
begin after full leaf development in the spring and can
be made throughout the growing season until just prior
to the onset of fall coloration. Application for live oaks
can be made throughout the year, except during the leaf
transition period in February and March.
Laurel Wilt: Applications can be made throughout the
year as long as the trees are full leaf.
Note: A treatment of Alamo® lasts for two years. To
ensure proper tree health, Alamo® should be applied
once every two years.
Determining DBH
After determining the size of your tree,
look at the rate card to see how much
product is needed.
How much product do I need?
It is important to apply the proper dose to the plant you
are treating. Gather the following information to determine the accurate amount of product needed:
1. Determine the plant species to be treated and
the rate category it belongs to. If you’re having trouble
identifying your tree, contact the Tree Geeks for more
information.
Single Stem:
Measure the
standard DBH of
the tree.
Multiple Individual
Trees Growing in
Close Proximity: For
trees that have grown
close together, measure the DBH of each
stem and treat each
stem individually.
Multi-stem Split At
or Below DBH: For a
tree that has multiple
stems splitting below
DBH, measure the tree
at the narrowest point
between the root flare
and the split.
Stem Clusters: For
trees that are grown
too close together to
be treated as individual
trees, measure the
DBH of each stem and
add the measurements
together.
2. Measure your tree. At 4½ feet above the ground,
wrap a measuring tape around the trunk of the tree.
Divide the measurement by 3.14 to get the diameter,
also known as DBH (diameter at breast height). (Refer to
Determining DBH chart, left).
If you have a tree with multiple stems, measure the diameter of the tree at the narrowest point between the root
flare and split of the stems.

Oak Wilt
Application Rate:
Oak Wilt:
Red Oak Group:
• Treat with 10 mL - 20 mL of Alamo® per inch of
DBH. Dilute each 10 mL of Alamo® in up to one
liter of water. The current label allows up to 20 mL
Alamo® per inch of DBH for trees growing in areas
of heavy disease pressure.
White Oak Group:
• Treat with 10 mL of Alamo® per inch of DBH for
trees less than 25 inches. For trees greater than 25
inches use 20 mL of Alamo® per inch of DBH. Dilute
each 10 mL of Alamo® in up to one liter of water.
Laurel Wilt:
Treat with 20 mL of Alamo® per inch of DBH. Dilute
each 10 mL of Alamo® in up to one liter of water.
Dosage Reduction Considerations
Oak Wilt:
Members of the white oak group have greater risk for
developing a phytotoxic reaction.
• Reduce the dosage rate for missing canopy,
especially on stressed trees or diseased trees.
(See Fig. 1)
• During times of prolonged drought, water the tree
1-2 days prior to making the application and keep
the tree watered after the application.
