ALL<\/strong> pyrethroid insecticides (bifenthrin, Warrior\/Karate, Mustang Max, Baythroid, Asana, Permethrin, etc.) are currently undergoing registration review at EPA. Nine are specifically being evaluated, but serve as surrogates for all 19 active ingredients.<\/p>\n

The preliminary evaluation shows that all pyrethroids exceed \u201cLevels of Concern\u201d for exposure to aquatic invertebrates. THIS IS MAJOR<\/strong>. If LOCs are exceeded, the exposure must be mitigated. This can be done in a variety of ways, but generally means loss of uses, reduced rates, reduced number of applications, or other use restrictions.<\/p>\n

IF PYRETHOIDS ARE IMPORTANT IN PRODUCTION OF YOUR CROPS, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT COMMENTS TO EPA ON THIS EVALUATION<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The current deadline is Jan. 30 at 11:59 p.m. (ET). An extension has been requested but has not been granted as yet. Please comment now if possible. EPA particularly needs to know why and specifically how you use pyrethroid insecticides.<\/p>\n

Your comments should include:<\/strong><\/p>\n
