Advantages of Horticulture Oils Oils are very safe environmentally and are degradable by evaporation. Oils quickly dissipate by evaporation shortly after application with little pesticide residue left behind. Oils are compatible with an IPM program and are less harmful to nontarget organisms. Oils are virtually nonpoisonous to the applicator. Oils are noncorrosive to spray equipment.
Oils can provide a wide range of pest control without plant injury.
