Ray, have you ever experienced any leaf damage or burn at either rate mentioned above for the Take Down? Also, what's the hottest temperature you've ever sprayed at and/or have you ever sprayed mid-day with direct sun on the plants?

Thanks. Just trying to understand when safe times and temps are to apply this product in a hotter climate.

I have been occasionally been using Pyganic 1.4 this year, which is similar (oil based + pyrethrins) and will note that I've found it needs to be applied in the evening or very early in the morning if the day is going to be hot and sunny, or there can be some leaf damage.
