There is Bonide Systemic,  Di-Syston,  Label is 'Systemic Houseplant
Insecticide Granuals"

It is listed for a few veggies but tomato, pepper and eggplant is not on the
label.

There is a product called 'Admire' which is listed for food crops,  BUT you
need a pesticide applicators permit in most states,  Some states, like NH it
is not useable.

Last instructions were used at transplant Can not be applied after 9 weeks
of growth.

Again, as with all who have replied, thanks for the info.  I once used
Isotox on a house plant that somehow got scale bugs.  This was a systemic
pesticide -- I mixed it into the water I was using on the plant.  As the
scale bugs ate the leaves, they died.

So, does anyone know of a good list of systemic pesticides?
