Garden Notes
Pesticides Can Cause Plant Sunburn

Be careful when you spray pesticides. They can cause phototoxicity, which means your plant will get sunburn. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper explains that applying some pesticides in direct sunlight or when the temperatures are high may cause this problem. Always read and follow pesticide label directions to avoid these problems.
