    Q
    Can I apply Sevin Concentrate to my backyard sweet corn?
    I am a small backyard organic gardner. I was told that a farmer friend recommended this product to use on my sweet corn. I will not apply in my surrounding vegetation. When do I apply this to my sweet corn, and how often and where do you apply it on the corn? Is it before tasseling or after pollinating?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate can be used on sweet corn up to 3 days before harvest, per the product label, however this is not an organic product. You can use PyGanic Gardening on corn up to day of harvest for the adult insects. Please take a few moments to review this Extension article which has great information about this insect.

    Q
    Does Sevin Concentrate kill psyllids and leaf miners on boxwoods?
    How long does it take to kill these insects? I sprayed 4 days ago and they are still alive.
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is labeled for both psylids and leafminers.  The exact amount of time it takes to kill an insect will depend on a number of factors, such as where the insect is in its life cycle and how long it spent in contact with a treated surface.  You should start to see results in a few days, but reapplication may be necessary per the product label, especially if the infestation is severe.

  • Asked by Pam from Henryville, In
    07/19/2015
    Q
    Can vegetables be washed of Sevin to be eaten safely before PHI?
    My husband sprayed our green beans and corn with Sevin and they are both ready now to pick. My husbands suggests I pick it anyway and just wash it off. Is this safe?
    A

    Sevin Concentrate is not labeled to be applied to green beans so any that were sprayed with the product would need to be disposed of. For corn you should not harvest for 3 days after an application per the product label. Then, you can harvest the corn and wash it off safely. Consuming before the PHI directed on the product label would not be recommended to be safe.
