I'm using Sevin dust 5% on my tomato and hot pepper plants. When can i eat them?

Question

After dusting plants, when is it safe to eat the veggies?

Answer 1

Always read the directions on the package it's better safe than sorry........Usually most herbicides and insecticide s and fungicides tell you how long to wait but in any case ALWAYS wash well with soap and water and RINSE well........

Answer 2

Sure later be sure you check the label on the amount of days you can use it to harvest. There should be something that will say tomatoes use _  days to harvest.

Answer 3

Sevin is a relatively safe chemical, so you can use it up to harvest. I don't use it, but I would make sure that the produce is thoroughly washed before serving to friends or family.

Answer 4

You can eat them as soon as you wash them very good with soap and water. The dust will not effect the fruit.
