No admission
No truce
You wrong about -
Post the source of the above - In ALL my tox reports read - No wasting, No liver changes, No brain or heart weights and sure as fuck no bloody noses.....I base my reply on every paper I've read, including the EPA's spiromesifen tolerance report!
Seems to be problems with that in your chemical though......In every report....including eye irritation - something spiro has NO problem at all with that.
Myclobutanil has a relatively low acute toxicity. The acute oral LD50 for mice is 1360 mg/kg, and ranges from 1.75 to 1.8 g/kg for rats. Myclobutanil metabolizes into 1,2,4-triazole, which has a lower acute toxicity than the parent compound (#EPA).
Workers exposed to myclobutanil have reported symptoms such as skin rash, allergic dermatitis, itchiness, nausea, heachache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, nosebleed, and eye irritation (CDPR).
In a two-generation study on rats over the effects of myclobutanil on reproduction, researchers found a decrease in pup weight gain, increased incidence of stillborns, and atrophy of the testes and prostate (#EPA). Myclobutanil is listed as a developmental toxin in the Toxics Release Inventory (#PANNA).
Chronic toxicity tests on rats found decreased body weight and changes to brain and spleen weight, in addition to reproductive effects (
#EPA).
Just for fun I'll do that compare of application concentrations and the relation to possible health issues.
You say your mix rate is 2ml per gallon at 19.7%
For spiromesifen - Oberon/Forbid I mix at a lower given amount then the label - .41ml to be exact. That is
4.88 times less by volume then you mix.
Your gallon treats, in your words, maybe 10 plants.
My gallon will treat at the
very least 50 plants at 6 ft in height. That's 5 times less mix applied to the plant, with a product that's at 4.856 times less concentrated to start with..... Applying that 3.4% difference in base concentration (so you can't whine about it).
See a trend here?
Lastly, you post a Lethal Dose
50 (LD50) rate of 1360 mg/kg in mice for myclobutanil. That is a high mg dose, relatively speaking....We're not talking lethality here.
There is no "actual" given amount for spiromesifen. They list it as LD50>2000 ml/kg. That means they did not find a lethal dose level. They quit testing over 2000 and simply tend to rate it a III. They do that just to cover their bases.....or ass's if you like.
No more talk
You want to end this?
I made my statements.
You made yours.
We do what we feel is right for us - correct?
Let the members here, read the 2 sets of ideals and decide for themselves what
THEY want to do as far using - or not!
Same thing for backtracker....just make your point and be done with it! Fuck the BUTT HURT and walk away being proud of what
you said...
Later man.
I got no bad feelings for you or BT. Folks that tend to call names. Should expect grief back.
Seems we're stepping over that...finally.
