Acephate Use on Succulent Green Beans

A number of questions have recently been asked about the use of acephate on succulent green beans this season. This change affects all registrants of acephate with the use on their labels. The removal of succulent green bean use from all acephate labels was due to dietary (food only) risk assessment. Therefore EPA technical registrants (i.e. the registrants of the technical material) were asked to voluntarily cancel the use on their technical (ai) labels. The removal of the use on succulent beans on the end use labels is a result of this action. Attached is UPI’s Technical Bulletin that addresses the changes in the label including information on use of existing stocks: https://sites.udel.edu/weeklycropupdate/files/2013/07/AcephateLabelAmendmentBulletinFeb2013.pdf
