Deadline MPs (Amvac) – In December 2012, we were made aware of the fact that this metaldehyde bait formulation will be available for use in corn and soybeans in 2013. It will be the only metaldehyde bait formulation available for use in 2013 from Amvac. For clarification, the MPs are “bright blue” in color. The information submitted by IR-4 for re-registration is at EPA for review. Be sure to check with your dealers and distributors about availability in your area.
