Good source of pesticide info...did you know?

Post by wishiwere »

I ran across this while doing some research on pesticides and thought it was a good idea to share with the rest of us who store these things. It's stuff I often wondered about but never looked up before. This was especially interesting....Do not store weed killers close to other materials such as wettable powders, dust formulations or granular insecticides. Some weed killers such as 2,4-d and 2,4,5-t are highly volatile substances and can contaminate other materials especially when confined in close quarters.

Here is the site with other info as well that is useful on shelflife and etc... http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/facts-slide ... -life.html
