honu,

Something for you to consider.

My concern with anything used in the garden is not whether it is so called organic, as derived from a natural substance, or synthetic, My concern is possible toxicity to humans and the environment.

Rotenone as you know is organic and is approved by all organic certifying agencies I know of and yet has a higher toxicity that does Daconil ( cholorothalonil).

When you see that something can be sprayed up to the DAY of harvest, as is true with Daconil, you know that toxicity is not great.

And since it's the most widely used anti-fungal world wide, there is a lot of data.
