Pentra-Bark

What is Pentra-Bark?

Pentra-Bark penetrating surfactant will take water soluble insecticide, fungicide, plant growth regulators or fertilizer into the vascular system of the tree for translocation into foliage or roots. It eliminates the need to spray foliage, soil drench, bark inject or pressure inject into soil.
