Serenade - EB
Has anyone used Serenade for fungal control for tomato plants?
I sprayed my tomato plants with Saranade last evening for EB - Here's information from their website "SERENADE Garden provides protection against a broad spectrum of the most common fungal and bacterial garden diseases, yet is completely non-toxic to bees and beneficial insects. It is so safe you can confidently harvest and eat fruits and vegetables the very same day they are treated. Unlike sulfur-based disease control products, SERENADE Garden is non-irritating to skin and lungs. And, unlike neem oil-based products that can injure plant foliage, there is no weather or timing restrictions limiting its application." <http://www.serenadegarden.com/> but the instructions on the container label read PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Applicators and other handlers must wear: • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Waterproof gloves • Shoes plus socks As a general precaution, when exposed to high concentrations of a living microbial product such as this, wear a dust particle mask when mixing or applying this product. Repeated exposure to high concentrations of microbial proteins can cause allergic sensitization. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no instructions are available, use detergent and hot water for washables. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. So I went out and sprayed looking like I was messing with something as dangerous as Agent Orange - very uncomfortable with all those clothes on and a dust particle mask! Since it's so safe to use, why all the precautions? I would love opinions on your use of Serenade. Thanks Boo in IN |
