triticonazole & acetamiprid

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
