Caution Urged When Farmers Use
Own Custom-Mixed Pesticides
Many farmers are mixing
their own custom-tailored pes
ticide combinations, according
to Frank Boys, agricultural
chemicals extension specialist
at the University of Delaware.
A combination of pesticides
gives a wider range of insect
control since it controls sev
eral pests at the same time. If
he mixes his own combination,
a farmer gets precise control
to take care of his particular
problem at that one time.
Those problems often change
in the course of a season, Boys
points out. Since insect resist
ance to a pesticide may sudden
ly change, or a new pest may
invade the fields, the same
combination that worked in the
spring may not be as effective
two or three months later For
this reason, - farmers seldom
store mixtures; instead, they
combine chemicals when they
need them.
Pesticide combinations can
save money. Less of the mix
ture may be needed to do the
job than if the chemicals were
used separately.
However, using pesticides
together can be dangerous,
Boys warns, since there is
more danger from residue
buildup in and on the crop.
Fruit and vegetable growers
must be particularly cauti
ous because their entire crop
can be seized by the Food
and Drug Administration if
residues are too large.
The possibility of overdosing
and damaging plants or ani

mals may Increase when mix
tures are used; some mixtures
are more toxic than the same
amount of the individual pesti
cides used separately. Occasion
ally the opposite is true, and
the toxicity is less with the
combination, Hoys points out.
Use caution when mixing
the chemicals, he advises Be
cause there are more chemi
cals to handle, the chance of
spillage and danger to the
handler is greater. Inaccurate
weighing becomes more likely
also.
The danger to children and
pets increases also when pes
ticides are combined, Boys
warns. If they get into a pesti
cide mixture, the likelihood of
a fatal accident is far greater
than with a single chemical
since it is harder to counteract
the effects of two or more
chemicals.
