Hi
I think I did something silly... I have a couple of cucumber plants in my balcony that have a bit of mildews and I used Rose Clear (triticonazole & acetamiprid) on them over the weekend (not a lot, if that makes any differance).
I am concerned I won't be able to eat any of the cucumbers any more?
Thanks,
Alex

It doesn't. I confused with another product that says is ok, after a few days, to eat.. this one says "for use in ornamental plants" which I read after a few sprays, reason why I didn't do too many... how long would it take for the plant to clear it out of its system?
Both chemicals apparently low in toxicity to humans, but the first is 'persistent' in the plant tissue. Highly toxic to insects, esp. bees. Was it 'Assail' you used?

Thanks.
I used rose clear ultra gun ?
Sorry, just seen, 'Rose Clear'. Same chemicals are used in Bugclear and that says it can be used right up to harvest. I'd find a leaflet from the original product and look for the harvest time.

Totally agree Verdun. I don't spray the decoratives either. Too much junk out there already
