Can this be applied right up until harvest of vegetables? Also, is there any concern using this once veggies are blooming/flowering? Thanks!

Yes, it can, although it is slightly oily (which is helpful in control of pests) however, I would be less inclined to use it right up to harvest. I guess I would allow 2-3 days. That is not intended as a definitive word on the subject, just my opinion, so less washing/rinsing would be required on some vegetables. It is an excellent product! BTW, the company has great service. Hope this helps.

The active ingredient in AzaMax is Azadirachtin, which is extracted from neem oil. Neem oil has virtually no toxicity towards humans and other mammals. Therefore it should be safe to use up to day of harvest. You may want to wash the fruit or vegetables that are sprayed but this should be even if they aren't sprayed. Also spray after sunset, this will save the bees from any harm. Dannie

Yes. But wash the living plant real good after last application with 6.5 ph water. very low on the ppm. Let plant dry out or sit in soil until plant is dry, used all previous water and below 200 ppm.

Stop using on vegetables last 2 weeks. On flowering plants last 3 weeks. This is a great product, all natural but will affect taste. If you have no bugs and are going into the final month, no need to use this product. The key is start using this product the very first week as a preventative.

I researched on line... I added it to my garden beds in the spring before I transplanted my veggies... what a difference it makes! I also added organic fertilizer... but my plants and veggies are huge and taste awesome... I will add every spring! check out on you tube john kohler growing your green.com also he is the expert of experts! I did not mix this in water... added to the soil dry...

Days to wait to harvest after spraying = 7, Days to wait to reapply (if needed) = 7, Maximum applications per season = 4-5 (depending on plant)

I applied to my bell peppers and plum tomatoes, with no reaction after first application. I applied again about a month later and it seems to be working on the second run. I would contact Bayer directly for more clarification if you have any doubts. I had a total of $30 invested in my plants, a lemon tree may be a bit more of a concern.

Yeah its the best natural pesticide you can get. Its sticky, I never spray the flowers. If you need a miticide, you can try Avid but you shouldnt use on food crops

You should pull up the label online...all the info you need should be on it. Fruit trees and roses are listed on the label which is what I am using it for; however, I haven't read it recently so I can't speak to use on vegetables.

You can safely put your preen down first before seeding and then after seeding three months later sprinkle preen around seedlings will not hurt vegetables but keep your garden weed free hope this answer your question

As I understand it, thats not good practice, especially on seedlings of any kind. You can burn the roots and damage your plant if you start fertilizing too early. I believe 2 weeks or so is sufficient to start low doses of fertilizer slowly building. (thats my anecdotal evidence). You wouldn't want to use big bloom until further in (as it reads on the bottle). If you have any questions like this, you can also call your local extension office, which specializes in growing plants. If you have any other questions, I will do my best to answer. Hope this helps!

We used it on the perimeter of our veg garden. We applied it from late April to late July, once a week at first and then once a month. We had less loss of ripe produce than the year before when we did not use this product. (Vermont)

I think we need to look at this from another perspective. You want to use this product when you are reasonably certain that the plant will take it up (i.e., absorb it). Since plants tend to be dormant in cold weather, mobility within the stems or trunks would be extremely limited. Thus, it is my practical belief (I am not a scientist) that a plant wouldn't be absorbing much of the Bonide during dormancy. My suggestion would be to wait for warmer weather before applying the product. Regards.

According to this website:http://web.extension.illinois.edu/blmp/news/news27553.htmlIt is perfectly safe for vegetable gardens. I used the product last year around my herb garden and everything came out fine.

I am not certain,if the instructions say differently don't use it...but I would just apply a small amount {test section} and see how the plant reacts.."Safer" recommends to apply in the late afternoon,because direct sunlight effects this additive that is the organic and controls the leaf eating creepy crawlies.Using a spray bottle,I don't see why not,just watch the amount you mix in the spray bottle...I follow the the 1 gallon instructions when i mix...it is a concentrate so be careful.

The commenter above misspoke. If you use the HPS during veg it will cause the plant to stretch. You should really try to use MH for veg if possible.

I found the answer on the internet, very easy to find. I did want to mention, be very careful not to overapply, it should be used very sparingly... don't assume that using a little extra will be better, it will burn up your plants.Also, dont get it on the foliage, and water it into the soil.

Hi Ja - I've planted several new roses, about 1 month ago and bought the Bayer Advanced 2 in 1 systemic.Early days still, but container states for Roses and Flowers..But contains strong fertilizer and Aphid protection for 8 weeks. Not use on veg or near Ponds and wash hands after use..pretty potent stuff, I.m assuming.Sorry I can't help more - but I was impressed by another product of Bayer and I'm thinking 'Give it a try' Maybe tell you more about performance. a few more months down the line.Regards and Good Luck ..Linda x

I confess I found Bayer's instructions on single plant vs bedding plant use mind-boggling. I simply put about an oz to oz & half in the bottom of a gallon milk jug, add lukewarm water, shake vigorously, and fill to top, slowly as it nears the top as it foams. I then use on all my plants, followed by some more clear water, and the foliage is lush and the flowering is maximum. I use a little oftener than 6 weeks between applications.
