Default systemtic fungicide update

"......... Sorry to be a pain but are u sure u should be spraying a systemic
spray on to things u r going to eat? ........."

If you're going to use Systemic on food crops you have to be aware of the
life of the spray. some systemics only remain in the plant for a couple of
days(but for safety the label will say 5 or 7 days before harvest), others
can have a life of around 2 weeks (again the label will add another week for
safety)
just be sure you leave enough time between spraying and harvest
