Is it approved for use on tobacco?
Go yell at someone else! :finger:

As for the forbid - your quoting a government required label that states generalities. RESEARCH THE CHEMICAL!

I don't give a shit what Cali say's or has in laws. Cali does not speak for the country, nor do you, nor do I.
Use it or not - that's up to you. But stating opinion over real research is not giving facts!

If you do the actual research, you will find a far shorter effective life at the concentrations used on cannabis. You use 8 drops in a gallon of water. If you bother to look up the tox reports from college's and the one's from the EU (They are FAR-FAR harder to pass for legal use [it did]). You would find it is not considered toxic to humans. The caution rating by the US Gov. is for possible skin rash and eye discomfort by those who maybe allergic.

BTW, at the concentration I gave - 8 drops per gallon is less then 1/4 the concentration of it's given mix rate and also a tic less then the concentration of the product Oberon mix rate, which is a less then half strength version of FORBID that IS USED ON FRUITS AND VEGGIE's...

If you eat strawberries. You've eaten a product that is the plant that Oberon is applied to more then any other! (Last I knew years ago).

As far as your crappy essential oil based product goes - Spray away, keep spraying too. You will be for a long time and still not kill the Russet or the Broad mite to any real effect.....It's obvious you have little to no idea the problem with getting any kind of control over them....

I don't know or care what California's problem is on some products.....I began there and I moved away.

DO THE PROPER RESEARCH!

Correct stuff. How late into flower would you spray Forbid? It does the job

Any idea what the connection between Bayer's white fly solution and Bat


8 drops per gallon? I thought you could use 1 ml per gallon which is probably about 2 drops.

I agree about Cali. Paradise destroyed by vile people.
I have never used it in flower....I would not at any time after bud formation.....No later then week 3....

1 ml is 20 drops
8 drops is .4 ml

Get that now?

No, not at all the same......



Yes
Care to elaborate? No I imagine you won't because the EXACT same arguments are now being used on you for using forbid, when you said you are strictly organic. Now you think you should have the pass of not having to answer the same questions you put to eagle 20. Same translaminar action, same use on veggies, same 2ml/gal mix rate.

Care to show me here where it says it can be used on tobacco?
https://www.cropscience.bayer.us/products/insecticides/oberon/crop

You realize that THCA is converted into THC which can then pass the blood brain barrier, same as your synthesized organic acid can change and act differently when burned.

Care to show any cancer rates from eagle 20 or where any sprayers or field workers have been hurt by eagle 20 or look into the MSDS and see that the gov't treats them similarly for toxicity? No I suppose not.

It's not BANNED for use on tobacco. Unlike your beloved eagle 20!

LOL!!!!!!!
Show me where eagle 20 is BANNED. You can't because it isn't! It's in the exact same class as Forbid or Oberon. :) LOL!

BOOM DONE. LOL!!!!!

Funny how you expect documentation from everyone else but don't hold yourself to that standard. Show me where eagle 20 is BANNED! and then you can be BOOM DONE! LOL!

You didn't read it all did you? Please do what works for you.

YOU refuse to understand anything I write. DO the research.
So, "asshole".....Oberon and Forbid are the same product in differing concentrations. Buying Forbid over Oberon is cheaper. So, I buy Forbid and use it at less then the mixing concentration of Oberon for use on FOOD.

I and others, jeopardize nothing by using it.

You refuse to learn actual science!

I refuse to take your bait any longer.


Funny you said the same thing about eagle 20 being for ornamental use only. This is making my day.

You actually don't know what you are jeapordizing since no one has done the testing required to know. I actually did the testing to see if eagle 20 had any of the myclobutanil left in the final product. Did you test this also? And if so what's the difference between the 2 of us except that my mixtures active ingredient only has 8 drops per gallon to your 20+ drops (19% myclobutanil as opposed to 50% of your active ingredient).

See told you that you'd not want to debate it since you know you can't win.

Your not reading the posts are you? You have your concentrations wrong.

I knew you would pop up in here....The 2 chemicals are totally different and totally for different problems.

Eagle 20 is also systemic - not translaminar.

Who's not getting his facts right?...

Did the guy who's been growing for longer then you've been alive, hurt your little feelings? Poor little butt hurt fella....

Not one credible site in teh search. At least there is a country in teh world that allows it's use on tobacco. Unlike forbid.

And if you use the statement it is banned from use on tobacco around the world is an erroneous statement to try and drive your point home. You outright lied and then contradicted yourself.

Your fault lies in the idea that if something isn't tested for use on tobacco it is banned. To which, I told you before, it's not allowed. That is different from being banned.

You are dodging. It's only systemic if it's brought up thru the xylem(watered in the root zone), it's not systemic if you spray as it doesn't get spread thru the phloem of the plant, it stays in the first 2 cell layers.

Active ingrdient level for oberon is 45% of teh product.
https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/www.agrian.com/pdfs/Oberon_4_SC_InsecticideMiticide_MSDS1e.pdf

Eagle 20 myclobutanil 19% 2ml/gallon equals 8 drops per gallon for myclobutanil. care to do the math for oberon?
https://kernred.co.kern.ca.us/kern-agcomm/products/EAGLE 20 EW.pdf

You're lazy. Explain what you mean and give me something as reference.

I've been growing over 30 years dumbass and am close to 50, you've been growing over 50 years? What equatoreal sativas? LOL.

If you looked long enough you could probably find an organic compound in a plant that myclobutanil can be sysnthesized after. They are different but you don't seem to see how much they are teh same for your argument. I'm having a blast with this, don't know where you'd think you hurt my feelings.

Oh look, your older then you act! Or so you say.....

44 Years growing our plant - 59 years old. College grad. Agronomy/farming and all the class's that are required to go with that. Hort, Botany, Biology and a host of others.

I worked a rather large (10 acre) greenhouse for a local (to the college) florist/plant shop while in college. Later took over the running of that after the old German fellow who did, retired.

I then accepted an offer from a major drug company to set up and expand a growing operation for creating taxol from the bark of Yew bush's. Specific yew bush's. Found better and faster propagation (cloning) tec for them along the way. The place was on 5 different locations and had greenhouses for propagation and faster development for the young and freshly rooted. They would be moved outside when they were old enough. Total land I oversaw at the time of my leaving, 1850 acre's. That's over 80.5 million square feet. At it's peak we had a plant count of over 20 million plants growing at one time!

That's "who" I am.

Now for some interesting information on your post.

Your WRONG on the percentage of spiromesifen in Oberon! The actual percentage of spiromesifen in Oberon is 23.1 %
Forbid is the 45.2 percent!

Your WRONG on how Eagle 20 is systemic too! (it is in every way it's applied) The following is from the EPA study !

Mode of Action
Myclobutanil is the active ingredient in several brands of pesticides, including Eagle 20EW. Myclobutanil works by blocking a key enzyme involved in fungal cell membrane synthesis, leading to abnormal cell growth and eventual death of the fungal pathogen (2) Myclobutanil is a systemic fungicide, meaning it is absorbed at the site of application (ex. leaf) and distributed throughout the rest of the plant, thereby providing more comprehensive protection from fungal infection (2). As a systemic chemical, myclobutanil cannot be removed by washing treated crops, although residue will decrease in plant tissues over time. The final remaining residue levels vary considerably and are highly dependent on the rate of application, the time of last application before harvest, and how well the specific plant clears the chemical from its system.


Eagle 20 - it is a known reproduction or developmental toxin and a suspected endocrine disruptor. Ecological toxicity is particularly harsh on aquatic organisms and amphibians.
The Half life of eagle 20 in soil is 66 days.
Natural water is 25 days and sterile water is 222 days
residual plant half life is 297 days
Exposure limit to the Myclobutanil is .5mg
Damage occurs by repeated exposure in the (in this order) liver, testes, adrenal gland, kidneys, thyroid.
Extracts increase measurable concentrations by 250%

Tox data is available here.

https://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/a?dbs+hsdb:@term+@DOCNO+6708

Forbid is listed as being for use on "ornamentals"... The concentration used is because it's intended for use on "woody" decorative plants. The spiro has less ability to penetrate the surface of those plants.

Oberon is just about half the percentage (concentration) of Forbid because it's intended to be used on Thin and softer skinned plants.
Many mistakenly assume it's because one is for edible plants and the other is for non-edible plants. That is not the case.

This is from the California dept of pesticide regulation report on it's acceptance study in 2005.

"DPR’s evaluation of the acute toxicity studies indicates that these spiromesifen products are low in mammalian toxicity. DPR toxicologists determined that the differences in formulations between the two end-use products and BSN 2060 were unlikely to be of toxicological concern. Acute toxicity studies conducted with BSN 2060 are suitable for bridging to the two end-use products."

Trying to compare your chem to mine is as stupid as you are! The amount by percentage or "concentration" of the chemical in the compound is based on the amount of concentration needed to be effective as it is applied to the specified plants..

Your an uneducated moron, trying to justify his severely mistaken "logic" conclusions.
You have no real idea on "how to" search for proper information. Your posted "claims" and incorrect information stand that out!

I highly suspect your not 50 and have more like 3 years of growing under your belt!

In the words of the great Adrian Cronauer. "I have never met a man in more dire need of a blow job in my life."

Sadly, I doubt you could search that up either......

I'm done with you!
Your now on *ignore*..

dr who is never wrong and he will go to any extreme to prove he's right. I had another go around with him on microbes being able to break down minerals he swore that they couldn't I showed him he was wrong and he pulled the same shit insulted my intelligence. dr who please never respond to any of my post you're a real bummer and it's not worth the bullshit.
Right,,,another case of butt hurt influencing a post....

Who called whom, what first.....I don't know why you refuse to do the research into actual tox reports and the reports for federal and state acceptance. You can even read the reports to the UK and other EU members for the acceptance of it over there. It's FAR,FAR harder to gain the right to use over there.

BTW, I research by tox report every and any insecticide I may want to use in my cannabis growing.....in reality, Haven't had to use one in years - I hope the same for you...

I get it. You don't like or want to use Forbid, so don't then. But don't drop into a post and make the false claims about the product. I don't understand the choices by some states that ban it's use. It's like they didn't do the research either....However, If I did live in those states....I would follow the restrictions given by that state....

As for Norby the Eagle 20 user. Making choices by logic (he admits that and defends it in the post I explained why eagle 20 is not used) is a quick way to fail. His comparison of the 2 chemicals are a no relationship factor.

With respect to you. I bet you can see that.....

I will not be making any type of target out of you or your posts! Norby either, for that matter.

Have a better day BT.....

1st proof of where you are wrong. I'll prove you wrong on the plant half life when I get the chance to show all teh different plant half lives there are. you should know, IF you had all that schooling, that different plants under different conditions are going to clear things at different rates. I'll find the info from our last debate which proved the half life was 14 to 28 days in MOST edible plants it's used on.
Be back soon to prove you wrong for the second time today. It seems you are smart enough to know better and I HAVE presented this info to you before so I believe you are just arguing out of ego. Which is terrible considering you are misleading others just to try and "prove" you are right to yourself.

Half life in Wheat, 3.5 to 11.7 days and no trace after 20 days. Far cry from 200+ days so I don't think you understand what you were reading.

Just admit you are wrong to justify your product and condemn mine cause you don't know what you are talking about. Quite embarrassing that you have all those credentials and can't figure this out. Unless of course you CAN and you are doing this because you don't like being wrong. You should know you can't have a residual half life in ALL plants, they differ. Or at least you should know that.

So now Cali matters? A couple posts ago you said you didn't care what Cali had to say. :) Guess you'll throw it out if it conflicts or use it if it suits. You're just digging yourself in deeper. Here's the quote from Myclobutanil life in the body, all gone within 96 hours. you are getting repeated exposure thru your food daily.
Absorption, Distribution & Excretion:
Rapidly absorbed and excreted. Completely eliminated by 96 hrs. Extensively metabolized prior to excretion. Metabolic patterns similar for both sexes. Disposition & metabolism after pulse administration is linear over dose range. ... Elimination of label from plasma biphasic and evenly distribution between urine and feces. No tissue accumulation after 96 hours. At least 7 major metabolites recovered and identified. Highest amounts of radioactivity found in liver, kidneys, large and small intestines. No tissue accumulation.
[USEPA; Myclobutanil; Pesticide Tolerances. 65 FR 29963 (May 10, 2000)] **PEER REVIEWED**

Now look at that same page you cited for toxicity studies. No cancer causing potential, possible reproductive issues after huge exposures. I'll look up forbid later and compare but I already looked up myclobutanil and it's not listed as being implicated in anything but reproductive issues. Have to look over the liver studies more.

Oberon 2 SC is formulated as a liquid suspension with 23.1% spiromesifen.

From the label it's self! 23.1 %

Like I said - you can't research shit!
You never said oberon 2sc, that's what bayer had listed on it's site. Not my fault you can't be more specific in your wording. I showed you the sight right from Bayer. I have no problem researching you have a problem being specific!

You said it yourself -
that different plants under different conditions are going to clear things at different rates.
I got my # as the high one - you dig for the low one. The truth is most likely somewhere in between.
The FACT that it's toxic is lost on you. Damage to you testes must be fun to you....I know a lady who will step on them for you.

Keep running around and banging into walls just to defend eagle 20 - brilliant....

Spiromesifen is level IV potential for human toxicity.....That's as low as it gets (California says level III for oral and dermal but, that the dermal report is unacceptable).

The available information on spiromesifen and Oberon 2SC Insecticide/Miticide indicates that neither the active ingredient nor the formulated product was very acutely toxic in laboratory animal studies. Furthermore, spiromesifen did not demonstrate oncogenic, genotoxic or developmental (other than reduced pup body weight gains in the multigeneration reproduction study) toxicity properties. Although data from chronic and reproduction toxicity studies showed that this chemical has the potential to cause some toxicity, the estimated exposures of workers from use of the Oberon 2SC product or of the general public from the consumption of crops treated with this pesticide are not expected to pose significant health risks. Given the above, we do not object to the registration of Oberon 2SC Insecticide/Miticide on the basis of direct human risks.

Our respective chems have NO real relationship between them. Your reaching for straws that are not there.
