Thiram Coated seeds safe?

[sdcisa]

I have recently purchased two packets of carrot and bell pepper seeds. Later I found that these seeds are coated/treated with thiram [a fungicide] I wish to know to whether the fruit produced from such seeds will have this toxic substance??

The small amount of this compound on the seeds will be long gone by the time the produce is ready.

I grow mostly organic , so I stay away from treated seed.

I had some bean seeds that were treated with this and there was some kind of warning that made me second guess growing them. So I just threw them away.

hmm.. this gives me second thoughts . thanks for your inputs..

[!potatoes!]

the info I see on thiram suggests that it has an in-ground half-life of 15 days. there will be nothing left of it by the time you harvest anything.

maybe get some gloves for planting, to make sure you minimize exposure? a little fungicide won't hurt you or your plants or your soil long term, though.

will check out then.
