The rules and regulations,
published in the Federal Register
of May 1 (Vol. 38. No. 83) are very
detailed, says Smith. However,
for most Pennsylvania fruit
orchardists, it means that: Field
reentry safety intervals in days
for orchard crops treated with
organophosphorous pesticides
have been established.
The standard becomes ef
fective June 18, 1973, and covers
certain organophosphates.
Smith emphasizes that these
regulations apply only to em
ployees outside the employer’s
immediate family.
Prescribing a required time
lapse before reentry to orchard
or field means that employees
cannot come into contact with
fruit trees sprayed with certain
pesticides before a stated
number of days have passed. All
orchardists who spray pesticides
of any kind are reminded to ask
their county agent if the
pesticides they are applying are
included on the list requiring a
waiting period before reentry.
Growers and-or employers are
obligated to warn their em
ployees and display warning
signs in their fields, vineyards,
and orchards where pesticides
have been used.

You’ll like the way it cleans
out annual broadleaf weeds,
even the tough ones like
cocklebur and velvetleaf.
And lambsquarters, smart
weed, wild mustard, jimson
weed, pigweed, and many
others.
Combine Lasso’with Maloran
herbicide and you’ll get
excellent control of grasses,
too. In some cases, Maloran
even helps extend grass
control. It’ll give you the kind
of broad-spectrum weed
control you need.
