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.

Dupont Agricultural Products has announced that it plans to voluntarily cancel the use of the herbicide Linuron on cotton. The company cites the lack of economic incentives to develop the data required for this use.

For further information contact:

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.
