Azinphos-Methyl (AZM) Use Changes Comments Invited ~ EPA currently plans to phase out the use of Azinphos-methyl guthion (AZM) by September 30, 2012 due to farm worker and ecological risks based on their findings. Registrants have requested a change that would increase the rate reductions for some remaining uses of AZM…… that applies to cherries, apples, pears and blueberries. The rate is currently scheduled to be reduced down to 1.5 pounds of active ingredient. Growers typically use just one pound per application and this rate would limit growers to one application per year. Applicants are requesting a rate increase to 2 pounds per year allowing growers the option of using AZM twice per season. The EPA is requesting public comment on a request from azinphos-methyl (AZM) registrants to amend their registrations. The public comment period will close on September 21, 2009.（更多内容）
