    Q
    After applying Fertilome Dipel Dust, how long do you have to wait until harvesting vegetables?
    A
    Dipel dust is a biological dust meaning there are no insecticides present.  Therefore, there is no certain amount of time that you have to wait before harvesting after treatment.  Anything that you harvest should be washed thoroughly and when you do this, you will wash away any traces of the product.

    Q
    Will Dipel Dust kill fungus on houseplants?
    I have a plumeria plant I bought in Hawaii in February 2016. It took about 2 months for it to start growing. It's done well but I think is has rust fungus. I brought the plant inside because it gets too cold in the winter.

    No, Fertilome Dipel Dust is not labeled for fungus. It is only labeled for insects. We would recommend using something like Fertilome Triple Action. It is a fungicide, insecticide and miticide all in one. It is safe for use on ornamentals, edibles, etc.
