Art,
Exirel is a suspoemulsion (/oil/ in water emulsion) which are mixtures
of water-insoluble active ingredients dispersed in an aqueous solution,
where one or more of the active ingredients are in suspension and one or
more of the active ingredients are in the emulsion. The formulation is
intended for dilution into water prior to spray application. These mixed
systems offer the benefit of a greater spectrum of pest control due to
mixed active ingredients and typically eliminate the need for tank
mixing. Their benefits include ease of mixing and handling, dust-free
and water-miscibility and that they are dust-free; however, since they
contain insoluble components they are not stable indefinitely as are
like ECs or MEs.
I have had much experience with Rimon EC, which is an emulsifiable
concentrate, with no phytotoxicity issues at all. These compounds
cannot be tank mixed with Captan though, since they contain oil
components. Exirel is also highly toxic to bees exposed to direct
treatment or to residues on plant surfaces, so we cannot use it since
our rows between trees are full of blooming clover for our bees.
Don't know if this helps, but this is the research I came up with when
examining Exirel for our use.

Does anyone have any experience with Exirel. It looks like a good
material for a petal fall insecticide. I'm concerned that it has an
oil component and am wondering about phytotoxicity when combined in a
tank mix.
