A soil Injection is?

A soil Injection is?

• A. Used to deliver a small quantity of a concentrated pesticide directly into the vascular system of a tree.
• B. A feeding needle is used to inject the solution.
• C. Often applied to the point of runoff.
• D. A sprayer is used to apply to foliage.

Answer: (B)

Soil injection uses a feeding needle to place the liquid pesticide directly into the soil, typically in the root zone, so the roots can take it up. This method targets pests or conditions in the soil while minimizing surface drift and exposure. The feeding needle is key because it delivers the product beneath the surface where roots access it, rather than applying it to the tree’s vascular system, the surface at runoff, or the foliage.
