Editor,
I got my hands on this package of squash seed today and please note on seed protocol, for the new sustainable backyard network project, aseedbox.org, seeds should not contain or be treated with anything (at all) ever, like these hybrid squash seeds (in photo) are Sygenta Corporation chemically-bathed seeds containing thiamethoxam insecticide, mefenoxam, fludioxonil, azoxystrobin fungicides.
I found corn treated with captan 4f, thiram 42s, dividend extreme, apron xl, vitavax 34 and so, so many chemicals are in our seeds! Actually in the seed itself! Note that many countries do not permit Sygenta to sell chemically-bathed seeds. Just in the USA are things like this happening and these chemicals are toxic to wildlife even saying in instructions – keep away from wildlife.
Wow, give me a wormhole any day!
