From my experience with it it was a moderately successful pesticide, I don't have much risk of PM so have no comment on its efficacy there. I can taste and smell the end results even when the product is used as directed.Snap! Love the use of the red pen! I need to do more research before I can really comment on the matter, which I will do. It's not something I have put a lot of thought into, only that I use it "successfully" i.e. no evil critters chewing my leaves and nesting. If it's having an impact on the end product, then I guess we can question that success now. I've not used it as a foliar. Sorry to make you cringe @SSGrower , but I have used it diluted watering in a fresh top-dress *cringe*.
No cringing, your garden your choice.
Risk is about exposure and dose, your application method may be safer but I ask this...
If the bugs stop chewing on the plant because it has become unpalletable why? Naturally letuicce bolts and becomes unpalletable ro humans but is not necessarily toxic. Its complicated and confusing to figure out what is the right thing to do yourself.
