Aim herbicide registered for weed control in lavender

.
.

The Pesticides Regulatory Directorate (PRD), formerly known as the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), has approved a minor use label expansion registration for AIM herbicide for control of labelled weeds on lavender flowers in Canada. AIM herbicide was already labeled for management of weeds on a wide range of crops in Canada. This minor use proposal was submitted by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Pest Management Centre as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.

 

 

The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making weed management decisions within a robust integrated weed management program and should consult the complete label before using AIM herbicide.

Control of labelled weeds

Apply with hooded sprayer to control labelled weeds between the rows of emerged crop. Apply in a minimum of 100 L of water per hectare. DO NOT harvest fresh or dry lavender leaves for human consumption. Hooded sprayers must be designed, adjusted and operated in such a manner as to totally enclose the spray nozzles, tips and pattern and to prevent any spray deposition to green stem tissue, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop being treated. Crop injury will occur when spray is allowed to come in contact with the green stem tissue, leaves, blooms or fruit of the crop.
