The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has approved  a minor use label expansion registration for Centurion herbicide for control or suppression of labelled weeds in rutabaga, green onion, and leeks in Canada. Centurion herbicide was already labeled for management of weeds on a wide range of crops in Canada. These minor use proposals were submitted by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Pest Management Centre (AAFC-PMC) and the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec 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 Centurion herbicide.

Ontario growers can obtain a copy of the new minor use label by contacting Travis Cranmer, vegetable crops specialist (Leeks, Green Onions) OMAFRA, Guelph (519) 835-3382, or Dennis Van Dyk, vegetable crops specialist (Rutabaga) OMAFRA, Guelph (519) 766-5337. Or reach out to your regional supply outlet, or visit the PMRA label site http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/registrant-titulaire/tools-outils/label-etiq-eng.php
