Hearing notice for change in pesticide use
The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)
advises that a hearing is scheduled on an application to
extend the use of the insecticide Ampligo.
Ampligo
contains the active ingredients lambda-cyhalothrin and
chlorantraniliprole and has current approval for a maximum
of three applications per season. The applicant, Syngenta,
is seeking four applications per season, so it can be used
on a broader range of crops.
The EPA has received two submissions on the proposal. A hearing, at 9.30am on August 25, will be held at the Willeston Conference Centre, Level 11, 15 Willeston Street, Wellington. A final decision will be available on the EPA website.
