Greenhouse Cut Flowers
-
    PHYTOTOXICITY: Non-dormant foliar spray or cutting/plant dip applications of mineral oil may cause plant injury, foliar damage, permanent discolouration of foliage, or death to some varieties of plants. To minimize the risk of plant injury and foliar damage, test product by applying to a small area of the plant to be treated or test on a small number of plants of each variety to be treated, and observe for 24 hours for injury or damage. Do no apply when humidity is >90% or when temperature is >33 C to avoid injury. Always test on new species/varieties. Less damaging than Landscape Oil for many crops in greenhouse trials (VRIC).
    Residual Effects on Natural Enemies: Short persistence (<1 week)
