NAAA Attempts to Reverse EPA Decision Banning Certain Types of Aerial Applications on New Herbicide Formulation
NAAA submitted comments to the EPA at the end of last week on a proposed registration for a new herbicide, glufosinate-P. While EPA is treating glufosinate-P as a new herbicide, it is in fact a new formulation of an existing herbicide, glufosinate. It is intended for use on both conventional and glufosinate resistant crops. EPA has recently announced they will be taking NAAA’s recommendations to modernize their aerial drift modeling process in order to improve the accuracy of their drift estimates, so NAAA suggested EPA redo the risk assessments for glufosinate-P using the new process.
