The EPA Decides to Not Allow PCNB
To be Re-registered for Use on Turf
The EPA has made a preliminary decision to not allow PCNB to be
re-registered for use on turf, including golf courses. It will
remain labeled for seed treatments and bulbs, though this small
market may be insufficient to warrant continued production. I
spoke with an agent of the manufacturer yesterday. We are
currently in the middle of a 60-day comment period after which
the EPA will make their final decision.
