Updates to UKPG database September 2024
Note that the following amendments to UKPG will be automatically included in the next edition of the book which is due out January 2025 but they are immediately available in the on-line UKPG database.
New Approvals:
• Albaugh UK has a formulation of prothioconazole + spiroxamine (Dovex, M20974) which mirrors the approval of Helix from Bayer but for use in GB only.
• Globachem has a new approval for Rapsan Solo (metazachlor, M 20983) which mirrors the latest approval of Rapsan Solo from Certis Belchim BV with approval on a range of brassica crops, nursery fruit trees and ornamental plant production and which is approved for use in GB and Northern Ireland.
• Agrocare has added spring wheat and spring barley to their diflufenican + flufenacet product (Boudica, M20939).
• Barclay has a new prosulfocarb product (Taboka, M20994) which mimics the approval of Adama’s Topsail.
• A new supplier has appeared. Moreton Ag, based on the Isle of Man, has a 100:400 g/l diflufenican + flufenacet product (Moreton Blockade, M20991) which has been listed as PAR. It is only approved for use on winter barley and winter wheat. They have no other approvals (yet?).
• Another new supplier is Delsys based in Southampton which has duplicated the Soar (azoxystrobin) approval of Agform with a new MAPP No (M20989). Both these azoxystrobin products are only approved on cereals and do not have the wide range of uses that the Amistar approval carries. Like Moreton Ag above, this is currently its only approved product.
EAMUs added:
• Nicocare (M20932, nicosulfuron) has an EAMU for weed control in sweetcorn.
• Sequoia (M18938, sulfoxaflor) has an EAMU for control of aphids and whitefly on strawberries under permanent protection with full enclosure.
• Botanigard WP (M17054) has an EAMU for treatment of Phorid and Scarid flies in mushrooms under permanent protection with full enclosure.
• Clayton Facet XL (M19724) has an EAMU for control of annual meadowgrass, blackgrass and some broad-leaved weeds in rye and triticale.
• Coragen (M19498, chlorantraniliprole) has an EAMU for control of large pine weevil on ornamentals under permanent protection with full enclosure.
• Infinito (M16335, fluopicolide + propamocarb) has two new EAMUs – one for downy mildew control in lettuce, herbs baby leaf crops etc and on for downy mildew and soil rot in radishes. Both these EAMUs replace EAMUs from 2017 with a later expiry date.
