isn’t banned it is highly regulated. Amounts per acre, total amounts allowed to use and time of season when applied directly to fruit. For example I use Lorsban to control white peach scale and peach tree borer. Both pest are best controlled post harvest, but sometimes white peach scale needs to be addressed earlier in the spring. I’ve never had to use it then but I pretty sure it needs to be used before bloom.

I wish I didn’t have to use pesticides and fungicides but something like those two pest could easily kill an entire orchard within a few years.
