- 1). Verify weather conditions are calm and dry. Plants treated with Sevin-5 dust are subject to phytotoxicity, and so conditions must be dry. Because you'll use the dust formulation of Sevin-5, conditions must not be windy.
- 2). Put on a breather mask or breathing apparatus, eye-protection and household latex or rubber gloves. Ensure a proper fit to guard against toxic exposure.
- 3). Apply Sevin-5 dust using the product's included shaker canister. Lightly dust the plant's leaves with a thin, even film of Sevin-5 dust, working backward in a crisscross application pattern to minimize introduction of Sevin-5 to your skin and clothing.
- 4). Repeat the application process every two weeks until three weeks before harvest or a maximum of five times during the life of the crop. The application of Sevin-5 may accelerate the spider mites' reproductive process, necessitating multiple applications to ensure control of the spider mites.
