Will Fusilade II Herbicide harm or be toxic to the fruit on a nectarine tree if applied under the fruit tree?
I sprayed fusillade onto the soil of my nectarine tree to curb the grass but I am afraid to eat the fruit in case it us poisoned by the fusillade. Please help.
Answer:
Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled to be used around edible vegetation. If you have already treated inside the drip line of the tree, we would recommend to skip eating the fruit for at least one growing season.
For actively growing weeds, Avenger Weed Killer Concentrate is OMRI listed and great for organic gardening. This is a non-selective herbicide, made from the rind of oranges to control most annual grasses, weeds and broadleaves. It contains the active ingredient, D-limonene (citrus oil), which naturally takes away the waxy plant cuticle so the plant ends up being dehydrated and then dies.
Please refer to the manufacturer's product label for complete application instructions, and use only as directed.Â
