RE: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #61

I found it interesting that the Chemist I spoke to on the phone (at the
manufacturer)said "This product (triazicide)is not recommended for edible
squash or pumpkins." "If you use it on squash or pumpkins, apply only once
in a season."
However, I have never been one to tell ANYONE else what to do, MY children
an exception. I was just passing on my fidings as a safety tip.
Afterall, I didn't listen to my parents about the dangers of drugs and
alcohol when I was younger, and now I am a certified genius.

I just want to? say that it is ok to spray Triazicide...it is NOT a systemic
and will wash off once you have a rain and thus is less chance it will get
into the fruit.
The label even gives how long after applying to lettuce.....the copy didn't
work well...I'm not sure I'd use it for lettuce...but seems to be more like
sevin...
anyways, I'm not a chemical expert...but I think you can spray it on
pumpkins that you are going to eat....especially with the below table...



NUMBER OF DAYS TO WAIT BETWEEN THE LAST APPLICATION AND HARVEST

VEGETABLES

Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cavalo Broccoli, Cauliflower, Chinese

Broccoli, Chinese Cabbage, Chinese Mustard, Kohlrabi, Lettuce (head and
leaf)

Tomato, Tomatillo, Peppers (bell and nonbell), Eggplant, Ground Cherry and

Pepino

Onions (bulb), Garlic

Corn (sweet and pop)

Asparagus beans, Snap Beans, Wax Beans, Black-Eyed Peas, Garden Peas,

Green Peas and Sugar Snap Peas

Lettuce (leaf and head)

PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval

Thanks for the responses!  Steve, the sugar baby vines are dead, there are
no more anythings, so the triazicide won't be doing any damage there.  sigh

And, I sprayed under the leaves with the stuff, too.  I seem to have gotten
some sort of killdown.  There are still a few down there, but I think I've
moved ahead of them. sigh

And I didn't kill all the bugs in the world...there were cucumber beetles,
bees, and other creatures inside my blossoms this morning when I pollinated.

Sigh.

The really good news is that I think I have a real live baby growing.  I'm
so excited!  HOORAY!

cheers,
duchess of gladstone
