From Dr. Eric Prostko:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Syngenta recently received a label for their new formulation of paraquat sold under the trade name of Gramoxone 3SL (3 lb ai\/gal).\u00a0 Many rules regarding the purchase, handling, and application of paraquat are changing.\u00a0 Most notably, all non-bulk paraquat products (with new labels<\/i>) must adhere to closed-system packaging requirements set forth by the EPA’s Paraquat Dichloride Human Health Mitigation Decision by\u00a0November 2020<\/b>.\u00a0 Also,\u00a0all paraquat applicators are required to complete an EPA-approved training module before applying.<\/p>\n

A couple of quick links for your information:<\/p>\n

1) New Gramoxone 3SL label:
\nhttps:\/\/www.syngenta-us.com\/current-label\/gramoxone_sl_3.0<\/a><\/p>\n

2) Current bulk handling systems already meet the new closed-system packaging requirements.\u00a0\u00a0Tank adaptors for new closed system 2.5 gallon containers should be available from dealers and\/or manufacturers?<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0EPA-Approved Paraquat Training Information:
\nhttps:\/\/www.epa.gov\/pesticide-worker-safety\/paraquat-dichloride-training-certified-applicators<\/a><\/p>\n

4) Generally, research results from my 2019 field trials with the new Gramoxone 3SL formulation have been very positive (see below).<\/p>\n
