Question from Helen
Debra,
Things I’ve been reading lately have emphasized local produce over organic. In Washington state, we have a bounty of locally grown fruit, but most is not organic. A local u-pick blueberry farm (with delicious, gorgeous berries) uses copper sulfate as a fungicide and diazanon. How bad is this stuff?
Debra’s Answer

The MSDS for diazanon says:
These MSDS are easy to find on the internet. All you have to do is type in the name of the chemical and MSDS, for example, “diazanon MSDS”.
