Kyle, Cinnamon and castille soap are not "products specifically used for Pesticide use."
If someone uses such a household product on their plants, they are quite unlikely to kill anyone. If someone uses cinnamon and it kills their plant, can they sue the spice company? They could, but they should not expect to win. If someone uses such products in their own home contrary to the labeling, the government doesn't have the budget to police such behavior. As a licensed poison applicator, you may need to watch the rules more carefully. In home gardeners, I think common sense should prevail. --Henry Fieldseth Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, zone 4 --- On Mon, 1/17/11, Kyle Baker <[email protected]> wrote: Any and all products specifically used for Pesticide use...mUST have a EPA Registration Number....if they do NOT have one...they are NOT Licensed by the EPA and are banned from use.....A local company learned this the hard way...Anti-pesto...made from all natural ingredients...garlic..basil oil...and other ingredients...manufactured over 100,000 bottles of the product and sold them to local nurseries in New England....they had NO EPA Registration on the Bottle licensing the product use for a pesticide...ALL Bottles were required to be returned..destroyed and no further production until a EPA Registration Number was issued...the product is fantastic..all natural...but no EPA Number...No Sale...

Spices and soap are not patentable. They have been with us for millennia. Neem, Azadirachta indica, a tropical mahogany, was patented recently as an insecticide in the US. This outraged India and the patent was revoked. It is a standard ingredient in curries of Southern India. -- Larry Wallace Cincinnati -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Alpine-l mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Alpine-l mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l _______________________________________________ Alpine-l mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l
