MALATHION - Malathion is an organophosphate pesticide effective on a broad VARIETY of insect pests.

Malathion can turn young LEAVES black. INSECTICIDEs containing BIFENTHRIN are suggested by expert BONSAI>BONSAI>BONSAI artists Peter Chan because they are kinder than malathion to younger leaves.

A light spray during winter will kill any eggs. Advice is not to use Malathion on Ficus, Crassu- la, Podocarpus or buttonwood.
