SYMPTOMS OF DAMAGE DUE TO PESTICIDE EXPOSURE

In addition to improper use of herbicides, improper use of fungicides can lead to plant injury. In this example, MARGINAL BURNING on the leaves of this geranium is due to application of four times the labeled rate of a common root rot fungicide called Banrot.

When using pesticides, be sure to read and follow all of the instructions on the pesticide label, including the recommended rates. Using excess pesticide or applying the pesticide more frequently that is listed on the label is a criminal offense, punishable by fine or imprisonment.
