Dimethoate Update

David Owens, Extension Entomologist, owensd@udel.edu

EPA is proposing to cancel dimethoate use in asparagus, wheat, cole crops, and cucurbits. If you are interested in providing comment, please do so by the end of July. From EPA: “The PID and updated HH DRA are posted to www.regulations.gov on docket #EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0059. Upon publication of the Federal Register notice, these documents will be open for public comment for 60 days.”
