| Abstract/Contents: | Announces that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has removed all turfgrass uses from the label on the re-registered pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB)." States that "PCNB is from the organochlorine class of fungicides, and was first registered for use in 1964. It became widely used on a number of different crops, and has been a mainstay in turfgrass for an affordable and effective snow mold control program." Urges superintendents to visit the website and voice their opinion about PCNB. Concludes that "while the loss of PCNB is frustrating and upsetting, it is by no means the light at the end of the tunnel. Pesticides will continue to be re-evaluated with more sophisticated techniques, and more important turfgrass protectants will likely be deemed too much of a risk." |
