Side Effects Data

 
The tables and ratings below are a guideline only
** Check crop registrations and permits before spraying **
Key to toxicity ratings
Applied = toxicity of chemicals when sprayed on the beneficials in the field. The rating is a general overall toxicity allowing for the impact on the population of the beneficial.
Residual = suggested waiting time (in weeks) after application of the product before introducing beneficials. In protected crops this period may be much longer.
L = Low toxicity = nil or low impact on beneficials.
M = Moderate toxicity = beneficial activity significantly reduced but can recover in a week or so.
H = High toxicity = a high proportion of the beneficial population is killed and re-establishment will not be possible for several weeks.
( ) = estimated toxicity, based on anecdotal information and known impact on similar organisms.
- = unknown toxicity
