I thought that it had been removed or perhaps it will be soon.

Yurk.

Rupert - help. Can you give me 3 fungi killer, 3 dissease killer and 3
pest killer which are not 'too' bad for the environment? I'm completely
lost with these now. I need them if I'm asked next week and I'm so
confused now with which ones are on the shelves, not on the shelves,
terribly bad, not so bad ect. Ta in anticipation.


I can think of a few but in each case it would be better to know which
particular fungi, disease or pest. Also there are several that the
commercial growers use which the amateurs are not allowed to use.

I will kick off with Sulphur for fungi and Fatty acid soaps for some pests
Both are still legal.
I pass on the disease question cos you really would need to know what
disease and on what plant.
There are dozens of products which will do the jobs you require but most are
now officially banned and a majority are probably not too bad for the
environment.
