how toxic is mancozeb, some say it is not that toxic and others say it is really toxic so just how toxic is it
According to the Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS: very low toxicity if ingested; Dust - irritation of nose through lungs, Eyes - moderate irritation; Skin - irritation dermatitis due to skin sensitization. To prevent above use eye protection when spraying, respirator if using dust form, long sleeves, long plants, shoes and socks and water proof gloves. Recommended a coverall. If you follow the label, which is the law, of this product, it is safe to use. I have sprayed this product for years and always protect myself. Always wear chemical resistant gloves when mixing the concentrate of any chemical.

Mancozeb, a contact fungicide, combined with systemic propocazonale, is a very effective fungus treatment. I treat my gardens every other week while maintaining healthy soil …lots of earthworms, frogs, and beneficials.
