What is an EPA 25(b) exempt or minimum risk pesticide?
What is an EPA 25(b) exempt or minimum risk pesticide?
"25(b) exempt pesticide", also known as a "minimum risk pesticide" the EPA has exempted from the requirement that they be registered under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act because they are made from ingredients that the EPA has determined pose little to no risk to human health or the environment.
This is a very limited list of 48 commonly recognizable active and 288 commonly recognizable inert ingredients that are allowed to be used and still considered minimum risk.
Lost Coast Plant Therapy fits this criteria.
What type of plants can I use Lost Coast Plant Therapy on?

Lost Coast Plant Therapy can be used on any type of plant in the world.

Which plant diseases does Lost Coast Plant Therapy work on?
Which plant diseases does Lost Coast Plant Therapy work on?
Lost Coast Plant Therapy generally works well on plant disease such as powdery mildew, mold, rust and fungus.
As there are literally thousands of variations of strains of each plant disease we have not specified exact strains our product is effective on. Please test for yourself and see how it works for you.
Can I use Lost Coast Plant Therapy as a preventative?
Can I use Lost Coast Plant Therapy as a preventative?
Yes. We recommend use 1 day a week, or 2-3 times a month for preventative care on your plants. Remember, this product works by having contact with insects or disease to kill it. Using it as a preventative will kill the soft body insects and mold spores it comes into contacts, that you can’t easily see. It cannot stop the insects and disease from coming into your garden. It can help with minimizing their presence once they arrive, and minimize their ability to take hold.
What is the best time of the day to spray the product?
What is the best time of the day to spray the product?
Use when temperature is 80 degrees or less and apply in low light, early morning or evening.
We like mornings best, as the plants have not yet been stressed by heat or light. This is when they still have moisture in the leaves and flower.
What are your directions to control soft-bodied insects & mold?
What are your directions to control soft-bodied insects & mold?
Read your bottle label and follow the directions before use.
There is not one absolute answer to this question. Our product works to suffocate and dehydrate soft body insects and disease on contact. If our product does not have contact with the target insect or mold and fungus it can’t kill it.
Thorough application is important. Take your time and completely saturate your plants.
What causes burning?
What causes burning?
It is very hard to burn or stress plants with our product. There are a variety of factors that can contribute to burning below are the only ones we know of related to our product:
Do not apply Lost Coast Plant Therapy in high heat (80 degrees or higher) or mid day high heat. Even plain water can burn plants if applied during high heat.
We suggest you water your plants the day before use of Lost Coast Plant Therapy if possible.
Make sure your sprayer/applicator line is clear of old product or other people’s product. Residue of other products can burn your plants. Mixing out product with other people’s products can have unknown interactions, so we do not guarantee what mixing our product with other products will do.
Our product separates, so if you spray without mixing you can get a high dose of one ingredient. Always mix well before and during application.

Do you need protective gear?

Yes it can! Just add 1oz of our concentrate to 1 gallon of water, same ratio as for spraying.

We suggest you water your plants the day before use of Lost Coast Plant Therapy if possible. Do not use as a soil drench if your soil is completely dried out. Water first, then apply as a soil drench.
ALWAYS test new methods or amounts on a single plant first.
