Mancozeb, a foundational fungicide in many programs, will continue to be allowed for disease control in crops such as potatoes and apples. However some cancellations are in store for other crops. Be careful to read the details.
- UPL AgroSolutions is launching a new liquid formulation in its herbicide that is registered for potatoes and tomatoes. Tricor increases the control of several pigweed species and other weeds.
- UPL AgroSolutions Canada has received PMRA registration for new STRIM MTZ herbicide. It controls troublesome grasses and broadleaf weeds such as lamb’s quarters.
- Health Canada has completed its re-evaluation of linuron. Some mitigation measures are required for specific crops such as carrots, parsnips, potatoes and asparagus. Celery growers will have another two years to find alternative solutions.
- The Pest Management Regulatory Agency recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for Prowl H2O herbicide for control of labeled weeds on transplanted celery.
