I’m planning on spraying garden beds with Onslaught due to the springtail issue. I’m aware that Onslaught should not be sprayed on established fruit or vegetable plants, but is it safe to plant and grow vegetables/fruit plants in soil previously treated with Onslaught? Should you wait a certain amount of time before planting fruit/vegetable plants after treating them with Onslaught?
We recommend that you do not plant fruit for one year if the soil is sprayed. We do carry Acephate 75SP, Cyonara Lawn and Garden, and Malathion 57%, each of which can be used on different fruits and vegetables. Malathion has the broadest label and is our most popular product for customers who need to treat fruit and vegetable plants. Always read the product label to be sure the plants you need to treat are listed. We also recommend contacting your local cooperative extension office to seek advice on the best products for plants and insects in your region.
