I recently applied liberal amounts of a pesticide in the spot where I usually plant my vegetables and fruits. I wasn't thinking at all when I applied the pesticide, and now I'm worried that the chemicals will affect the plants and the vegetables/fruits will have higher than normal concentrations of the chemicals found in the pesticide I used. The pesticide's active ingredients were listed as such in decreasing percent of total content: Monosodium acid methanearsonate 2, 4-D, dimethylamine salt Mecroprop-P, dimethylamine salt Dicamba, dimethylamine salt
Can anyone help?

Was there instructions on the brand of pesticide you used? For around vegetables? Monosodium acid methanearsonate 2, 4-D, dimethylamine salt Mecroprop-P, dimethylamine salt Dicamba, dimethylamine salt This list is herbicides, not pesticides. They usually will tell you on the labels how soon after you can plant safely.

Nope. And yeah, I made a typo. I did mean herbicides, not pesticides. Haha, sorry for the confusion. Should I wait till next year to grow things?

You didn't say which brand you used. It can make a difference! Please, a little more information?

I believe it was Bayer that I used. The weed killer was originally meant for lawns, but I made a mistake of using it on grounds meant for a garden. There is nothing planted there as of now so when I applied the weed killer, I figured everything would be alright later. It was only a couple days ago that it hit me that the chemicals would probably stay in the soil long after the application.
