Homer from Brownsville Oregon writes
I accidentally sprayed weeds near my vegetable garden with Crossbow, probably 10 years old, 2 oz. gallon mix. There was minimal wind, about 80 degrees. Thought it was Roundup, label had fallen off. I was holding a large piece of cardboard at my feet and spraying low to ground. The spray was applied outside the vegetable plant root zone as I was standing between the plants and the cardboard. I can see no sign of leaf damage on the tomato plants after approximately three days (canary in the mine)? I watered the garden heavily with overhead sprinklers two hours after my mistake. Will the veggies be safe to consume if I wait awhile longer and see no damage?
Helena Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled to be applied on anything edibles so we cannot comment on if it would be safe to consume vegetables from plants thar were close the treatment area. We would recommend contacting the manufacturer directly. You can reach Helena Chemical at 901-761-0050.
