No endorsement is intended for products mentioned, nor is criticism implied for products not listed. As much as possible, information has been provided for application rates, days from last application to harvest, application methods, restrictions on the number of applications, precautions and timing. However, the label on the pesticide container is the final source for all application information, as well as all other restrictions and suggestions. Use this bulletin as a guide for registered pesticides, but be sure to consult the label prior to application. In most cases, the fungicides are compatible with insecticides, but limitations and label directions should be checked carefully before mixing materials.
All pesticides are poisonous.
The pesticide label usually states in its precaution section the toxicity of the insecticide. The lower the LD50 value, the more toxic the material. Oral LD50 is the measure of the toxicity of pure pesticide when administered internally to test animals. Dermal LD50 is the measure of the toxicity of pure pesticide when applied to the skin of test animals. Generally, oral application is more toxic than dermal application.
