Application / Dosage Guidelines

Although detailed official label rates are not fully available in the sources I found, here are some usage guidelines derived from product listings and vendor advice:

• On a Shopee listing: “Mix 1 tablespoon of Albarol with 1 L of water and spray.” 

• Should be applied in the morning or evening (avoid spraying under strong midday sun). 

• It is often used for control of scale / teritip insects and is effective in such uses. 

• It’s often emphasized not to use it under hot midday conditions, to avoid damage or evaporation.
