| Abstract/Contents: | Stewarding diuron became a critical issue following the revocation of the triazine approvals within the UK amenity use area in the early 1990's. An industry-wide stewardship campaign, with an education programme was launched using the theme of "product placement" and a slogan of "the right product, right place, right time". Bore hole protection schemes and water catchment studies were initiated along with a voluntary revision of all labels for diuron containing products. Levels of diuron in water, as published by the Drinking Water Inspectorate, have fallen during the mid 1990's. Work in managing diuron to ensure the quality of UK water is protected is part of an ongoing programme. Research work has identified the fact that other active ingredients may have an even better fit with use in amenity settings. Chemistry with these characteristics, combined with an appropriate stewardship position, can be used to ensure herbicides can continue in their valuable role in countries around the world. |
