Below is information about the chlorpyrifos situation from the UGA Peach Blog.

As many of you may have already heard, the EPA has decided to ban the use of chlorpyrifos (e.g. Lorsban) for use in food production. While chlorpyrifos has been on the chopping block for many years, yesterday’s announcement came as quite the surprise. For more information, please see the EPA’s official statement here: https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-takes-action-address-risk-chlorpyrifos-and-protect-childrens-health

Unfortunately, details about the ban are not yet known, but I will make sure to update the blog as I learn them. In the mean time, if you are currently planning to use chlorpyrifos this season for trunk sprays, continue to do so until further notice.
