I was wondering if it is okay to put Merit 75 on my zucchini plants? Every year the vine borers get them. Or would this make the actual zucchini's toxic to eat.

Thanks,

Ryan

Merit is used all the time in commercial food crops. If you buy vegetables in a supermarket more than likely some have merit in them. Just follow the label.

Soybeans, Corn, and every other vegetable that is not grown organic uses it. Some of you are even putting it on your pet for pleas and ticks.

Think of taco bell I know you guys have taco bell...

well think of a bad tacobell except from the second you take the first bite start the 10 minute timer cause that is about all the time you have to find the toilet

if you do not want to use merit. Start a second round of plants and plant them in the garden at the end of July.
