| Abstract/Contents: | Profilse Monosodium methanearsonate (MSMA), "an organic arsenical herbicide [that] contains an organic form of the element arsenic." Announces that on January 16, 2009 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ruled that "use [of MSMA] on athletic fields will be deleted after December 31, 2010, per the EPA's original ruling in August 2006." Mentions that "golf courses will continue use of MSMA through December 31, 2013." Concludes that "the loss of MSMA will certainly make managing weeds in warm-season turf more difficult, and inevitably, more expensive." |
