"explained that researchers examining the effect of
fungicides on bees in almond pollination found that different *brands* of
the *same* chemical varied widely, from almost harmelss to quite lethal, as
I recall."

I think most people would be suprised to the extent which many farm
managers believe "If a little bit is good, then alot is better". I even
had a Professor at the University brag to a class that I was in how he
doubled recommended doses for some chemicals. There is another factor, and
that is "cocktails" where a person of experience can mix two or more
different chemicals, usually illegally to get synergism. They naturally
don't talk about it.
