Pesticide Registrations and Actions

Other Actions

  • Due to an inadvertent EPA cancellation, the special local needs registration for the use of Pursuit® (imazethapyr) on lettuce and escarole/endive grown on high organic matter soils (SLN No. FL-050008) has been reissued as SLN No. FL-080009.  (FDACS PREC Agenda, 6/5/08). 
  •  Bayer CropScience has requested the cancellation of Di-Syston® 15 G on broccoli, commercial ornamentals, and potato (no EC use on potato either).  (Federal Register, 5/21/08). 
  •  Bayer CropScience has requested cancellation of all registrations containing fenamiphos (Nemacur®).  This includes special local needs (SLN) registrations.  (Federal Register, 4/23/08).
  •  On May 29, the EPA announced that the four rodenticides brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difethialone, and difenacoum will become restricted-use pesticides available only to professional applicators.  Ten other rodenticides available to consumers will be available only in enclosed bait stations, and the sale of loose bait, such as pellets will be discontinued for use around residences.  (EPA OPP Update, 5/30/08).
