Can Bayleton be used in a patch that will also have edible veggies in it? How long will Bayleton stay active in the soil?

Give the word Bayleton to Google. Your own determination will be the most reliable. You might wish to determine if this product will kill the living critters in your natural biological living community within your patch. That ranges from life you can see to tens of zillions of bacteria you can not see or identify.

We can not build our soils to a more healthy position while at the same time killing off the natural life forms the soil needs to rebuild and become better than it is today.

Bayleton & it's chemically identical partners are labeled for use on many food crops.

Soil half life is 26 days. Fungal & bacterial colateral impact is low as is the case with most sterol inhibitting fungicides. Primarily because they don't leach into lower soil profiles. Here is a link you might find useful:

There are other versions of Triadimefon such as Amiral & Rofon among many others. With the patent now expired, there are many other labels out there. Google search the word "Triadimfon" for much more information.

Bayleton is another great Powdery Mildew fungicide. But the typoe you have probably isn't labeled for use on Pumpkins. Check to be sure at:

click the label sesarch & enter the word "bayleton". Check the EPA reg # against your own label.
