The intent of this network is to inform interested parties of impending pesticide use cancellations and to afford those parties the opportunity to affect decision made by the pesticide registrants in concert with EPA. To the best of our knowledge the uses mentioned below will not appear on any label registered by the EPA following their expected cancellation.

The following information about the insecticide azinphos-methyl has been obtained from Mobay, EPA, and IR-4:

The IR-4 Program has committed to EPA to develop new "magnitude of the residue data" for azinphos-methyl on 11 crops (apricots, blackberry, boysenberry, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, loganberry, raspberry and rye). However, newly available batches of Mobay's GUTHION do not contain these crops on the label.

Other formulations of azinphos-methyl still have the supported crops on their label. Mobay plans to request supplemental labeling to correct this problem.

The reregistration notification network is a cooperative effort of the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Pesticide Impact Assessment Program (USDA-NAPIAP), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Agricultural Chemicals Association (NACA). If after contacting the registrant listed above you wish to express additional concerns please contact your NAPIAP State Liaison Representative. If you wish to contact us at USDA, our number is (202) 720-4751.
