Pesticide Colors Reveal Toxicity: Red, Yellow, Blue, Green Labels Guide Safe Use

• Red label: 'Extremely toxic', fatal in small amounts; avoid on fast-maturing crops, use under expert supervision due to persistent residue.
• Yellow label: 'Highly toxic', dangerous via breathing/skin; used on cereal crops, requires harvest delay on fruits/veg.
• Blue label: 'Moderately toxic', less lethal; used carefully on oilseed, pulse, horticultural crops with moderate effect.
• Green label: 'Least toxic', often organic/neem-based; safe for environment, ideal for home gardens, minimal human risk, even near harvest.
• Always prioritize green/blue for fruits/vegetables; use mask/gloves; wait 15-20 days after red/yellow application before harvesting.
