Abstract/Contents:Focuses on agricultural chemicals which, after application, may not be made part of a compost. Profiles Imprelis (aminocyclopyrachlor), and states that its label claims "'do not use grass clippings from treated areas for mulching or compost, or allow for collection to compost facilities. Grass clippings must either be left on the treated area, or, if allowed by local yard waste regulations, disposed of in the trash.'" Reviews issues encountered with clopyralid during 2000, and details the release of Imprelis into the market. Reports on compost tests conducted on aminocyclopyrachlor degradation rates. Concludes that "'until we can demonstrate that [aminocyclopyrachlor does not present a risk], we have label restrictions that prohibit composting."
