Isopropanol is C3H8O
Ethanol is C2H6O
Methanol CH4O

The smaller the molecule, the easier it is likelier to be for it to enter the plant tissue. I have
heard of plant toxicity with ethanol, but have seen no evidence of it myself.

What is the difference between isopropyl and ethyl alcohol? Can I use ethyl
alcohol in place of isopropyl in an alcohol/soap/water solution for spraying
pests???
Can't seem to find isopropyl in Italy. :-(
