We just had a state senator that wanted to stop calling a product IPM
raised if you used any products that had Danger or Warning signal word on the
label. When I pointed out to him that a number of approved organic products
(most coppers, lime sulfur and pyrethrums) fell into that trap, he backed
off.

Subject: Apple-Crop: copper fungicides for organic apples?
Can anyone point me to a copper fungicide that is OMRI approved for
organic farmers AND that also has a US EPA label that allows repeated
applications to apples during summer. I know that I should be able
to find this info on the OMRI web-site, but I found that site
extremely confusing when I tried it a year or two ago.
