Follow the printed label for specific application instructions. Can be used up to the day before harvest. Natural control. Contains sulfur and pyrethrins. Sulfur is an organically listed fungicide that has been used for centuries. It has some insecticidal properties for minor insects like mites. It is less effective than synthetic fungicides, so must be applied more often. Pyrethrin is a naturally occurring insecticide derived and concentrated from chrysanthemums. It has also been around for years and is also less effective than synthetic counterparts and therefore must be applied more often for control. It should be noted that because these substances are natural, doesn't necessarily mean they are safer for applicators. There are synthetic fungicides and insecticides that are safer than both sulfur and pyrethrin. Because Bonide Citrus and Orchard Spray RTU has an insecticide, you would never want to spray this product at bloom because it would kill pollinating bees.
