UPI requests cancellation of Maneb registration
Date:09-12-2008
A company press release from United Phosphorus, Inc., which supplies post-patent crop protection technologies, states that the company has submitted a request for EPA to voluntarily cancel all Maneb registrations. Due to a variety of regulatory reasons, UPI will not be supporting the re-registration of Maneb. UPI plans to produce Maneb until the end of 2008. There is a petition pending at EPA to add several crops to mancozeb labels that had previously been served by Maneb, such as letters and peppers.
