A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Vegetable Gardening orthenex on veg garden

I've have applied orthenex one time to my vegatble garden.is it domed or ok what dose any one think I hate to have to plow it under it is to late to start another.Help please

I've never used it. But from what I read I wouldn't eat anything I sprayed with it. Can also understand your wanting to eat the veggies. And I'm not an organic nut but do try to be careful with my health. JMO. JD

good answer jd. i feel the same way.

I have checked the lable and it says not for food plants but that is because it was not tested on humens.All else I read says that it is type 1 risk witch is slight risk of toxic and nothing that say any thing about when applyed to a garden only when taken directly.nothing that say any thing about how long it may stay in the plant or fruit.

Yes I did call ortho.They said that I should destroy the plants.But they did not do any studys on vegy plants.Or did they know what one time app might do.The person I talked with was a young person reading a screen.what I have read on the product tells me nothing about it being in the fruit.They just talk about getting it on your self or ingesting some of the product.
