Mr. Rogers,
I am no expert on all different chemical substances but am I to understand that
for example a plant resistant to Aryloxyphenoxyalkanecarbolyxic acids, sprayed
with a formula comprising let's say 0,5% thiamethoxam, 20% organophosphorous
compounds, 25% carbamates, some fenoxycarb, fipronil and diafenthurion is to
be considered a "low risk pesticide" plant? Is this the Opportunity organic
farmers are avoiding? I wonder why that would be!
Sincerely,
Wytze de Lange
