Cygon


I understand that Cygon is a derivative of   ' Agent Orange'... - a warfare
chemical used in Asia to remove foliage to expose the enemy ?   I could be
wrong..

Just the smell alone makes it appear extremely dangerous..

When I took my  IPM course - we were told that -  if the plant you intend to use
on was NOT listed on the label - one should NOT use it...   How many labels to
you read where IRIS is listed ?  Not many,  if any .

I use Cygon, too..  (but, only when the foliage is 4-5 " high)..

Has anyone seen iris blossoms after a very  slight exposure to Round-Up ?   Some
irisarians - not remembering that they did some Round-Up'g -  think they have a
new class of iris - or whatever..   It does strange things to blooms...  One has
to remember the unusual condition of the bloom was possibly due to fact that
round-up was used close by..  One gardener, I know, was thinking of registering
an iris with this unique condition.. I must admit it did look quite different -
but everyone recognized the results of Round-Up.
     Those attending AIS Nat'l Conventions can also see the results of this
quick 'cleanup' method prior to  garden visitors,  etc...
