What is Dow AgroSciences doing to keep herbicide residues out of my garden or allotment?
In the summer of 2008, there were some incidences involving alleged damage to sensitive crops reported in gardens and on allotments across the UK. It became apparent that existing labelling and safety measures needed to be further improved. We asked the Pesticides Safety Directorate to suspend registrations of aminopyralid-based products from June 2008, so that we could evaluate the best way forward. Additionally we re-called all product. We are working with many interested groups to help better inform farmers and their advisers about this issue. We are putting further safeguards in place to reduce the chances of such incidents re-occurring.
