Actually I am a bit biased.
As a biodynamic fruit farmer, what other farmers spray on their plants, is not overly concerning to me.
So if your thread isn't about weed growing, but about pesticide use in horticulture, then I can give you a little insight.
When I have worked with conventional farmers growing vegetables, mainly brassica, they would maybe spray once, or at most twice in the plants life.
After all if you sprayed all the time, Monsanto would get your profit, and you would lose the farm.
Just because the with-holding period is a week, doesn't mean every farmer drenches his farm in poison, up until a week before harvest.
And to the farmer who had to continuously spray chems I would say
Maybe have a look at why your plants are refusing to thrive.
