Certified organic growers!! Do Not Use!! Contains petroleum distillates. Dupped organic grower from NE wrote May 30, 2018

This may be an effective product, but use of it will result in the loss of organic certification.

A.M. Leonard: We reached out to the manufacturer of the product and they responded with the following information: "Please rest assured that this product has gone through a rigorous examination and has been approved for Organic use by the WSDA using NOP standards. Three years ago, we reformulated this product and it went through this process as some of the carriers that had been approved were being looked at again. Knowing this, they approved our new formulation. There have always been trace amounts of petroleum distillates in the formulation, but they are at amounts accepted by NOP and OMRI for organic production. There is no risk of losing one's certification. Please find the certification in the links section of the product. This was renewed last December. This product is used by many of the biggest organic growers in the US with no issues with their certifiers."
