Safety, Compatibility & Precautions

• It is considered relatively safe for beneficial insects (bees, pollinators) and for pets, when used correctly.
• However, it can be harmful if swallowed; contact with eyes, skin and clothing should be avoided. Wash hands after handling.
• Store in original container, in a cool, dry place, away from food, animal feed, children and untrained persons.
• Compatibility: works with many common fungicides, insecticides and fertilisers, but you should do a small test (both for physical compatibility and checking for phytotoxicity) before mixing. Do not mix with strong oxidising agents, nor with strong acids or bases which destabilise the product.
