Product Registration Changes in Vegetables!

Recently PRMA (Pest Management Regulatory Agency) has approved several IMPORTANT minor use label expansions in vegetable production. Minor use label expansions of pest control products are considered on active ingredient(s) currently registered in Canada, which are expanded for additional end uses.  Below is a table outlining some of the key information about these products and their end uses (add table directly below this paragraph).  Before integrating these products into your current pest management program, please review the label thoroughly and if needed, consult with your favourite agronomist.  The Health Canada label search tool has the most accurate and up-to-date labels, and can be found here.

 

Through the emergency use registration process Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador were successful in obtaining SWITCH®62.5 WG (cyprodinil (group 9) and fludioxonil (group12)) for use has been approved PMRA for the suppression of Alternaria leaf blight (Alternaria brassicicola) on Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower.  Being an emergency use registration, this use pattern is only permitted from July 8^th, 2022, to July 7^th, 2023, however a user requested minor use label expansion for this use of SWITCH®62.5 WG has been submitted and will hopefully be approved for the 2023 growing season.  

For more information on these products, consult the label or contact your local agronomist.

Product Registration Changes Impacting Horticulture: Q&A with Perennia Specialists

Changes are coming. Several pesticide products will be cancelled, or labels will be updated to include amendments to use patterns. The product changes come after the re-evaluation decisions by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) – the regulatory body that assesses the acceptability of risks according to current standards.

Join us to learn updates from our seven Perennia specialists who are here to support you in the horticulture sector. This webinar will be interactive – something that we miss by seeing you all in person! That’s why we are dedicating an entire question-and-answer period to you.
