Directions for use
Dust seedlings approximately 7 days after transplanting and repeat at 7-10 day intervals. Apply uniformly to foliage including underside of leaves. Dust when the air is still, preferably in the evening or early morning. Apply more frequently during rainy weather. Avoid excessive application to seedling tomatoes. Do not pick tomatoes for 3 days after dusting.
Effectiveness
After rain, it is necessary to dust again. Best results are achieved if used as preventative.
