Strongest pesticide/herbicide

Aint gonna get into that argument that imidacloprid causes bee colony collapse when at least 4-5 other causes have been isolated, i.e. varroa mite, moth, viri, etc. It's another political football just like the global warming bullshit.

Having said that, I have a working farm, raise tropical fruits in a greenhouse, have a vineyard and have religiously sprayed those crops with Adonis 75WP. I have so many bees coming and going into my greenhouse, on blossoming peach trees, etc. they are a nuisance (which I gladly tolerate of course). Right now I have citrus blooming and avocados just beginning to bloom and they are covered in bees. Be most happy to take a photo if you want, as long as it doesn't compromise my security.

I have or do use permethrin, Orthene, Adonis, bienthrin, malathion but like I said, the less I use on consumables the less problems I have. It's really weird - I never spray my fruit or nut trees or veggie garden with insecticides or fungicides. I do have one crop that will be killed by certain moth and must spray with imidacloprid or permethrin.

Speaking of fungicides....for grapes my silver bullets are Rally and Pristine. Check them out.

Have you looked into companion planting plants that can deter pests or attract them away from the crop, a sacrificial plant? I started doing this in my veg garden, i planted mint,garlic and mariglods and planted a few tomatoes and squashes along the wood line as a sacrifice to keep the bugs there, it seems to have worked, my insect issues have mostly resolved the last 2 years since i started doing it. Remember escalation of force...there is no need to nuke it if you can kill it with a stick..or something.
 
Dang I also need pointers I had worms eating my seeds up outdoor season they love the scads better than the flower
 
I don't have any experience with Rally but have used Pristine fung. In the past with good control levels with Botrytis on various annuals including strawberries. I would have few if any qualms about applying it to cannabis if the need should arise. Most of the products I use are for ornamentals and turf. While the active ingredient on many of them are the same for T/O's, they are typically at a reduced concentration for Food /Ag/Greenhouse production under different trade names. I had read the research in a trade magazine regarding Keyplex 350 WP a while back but have yet to find a genuine place to use it in any of my programs although I won't rule it out. What results have you seen with this product?
