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.

USDA has established a toll free number for information on several pesticides which have use changes due to registrant actions during the reregistration process. This information is given to us by industry or other agencies. Recent industry actions affecting future pesticide use are listed below.

We are concerned that there has been little activity on the toll free line following the last few notices. Maintaining a toll free number is costly, therefore we welcome your comments on the utility of such a service for agriculture. Please let us know!

The toll free number is 800-262-0216

The Du Pont Agricultural Products Co. has announced plans to voluntarily cancel ALL ornamental uses and ALL dip, drench, container, and greenhouse use of the fungicide BENLATE WP.

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.
