To the best of our knowledge the uses mentioned here, unless otherwise indicated, will not appear on any label registered by the USEPA following their expected cancellation. We would recommend that you express any concerns or questions you may have to the contact mentioned below or your NAPIAP State Liaison Representative.

ethion

FMC Corporation will voluntarily delete the use of ethion on APPLES, BERMUDA GRASS, CHERRIES, GRAPES, MELONS, PEARS, SUMMER SQUASH, TURF and ORNAMENTALS (GREENHOUSE) due to the cost of studies for reregistration. They plan to support the one remaining use on citrus. If anyone wishes to supply the necessary data on any of the crops being deleted, FMC will support the reregistration of ethion on those uses. Otherwise, these proposed deletions will become final on 5/25/93.
