Pyganic insecticide label expanded for bulb vegetables, herbs and spices

The Pesticides Regulatory Directorate (PRD), formerly known as the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), recently approved a minor use label expansion for Pyganic insecticide for suppression of onion thrips, and control of beet armyworm, leafhoppers, and climbing cutworms on Crop Group 3-07, Bulb Vegetables; and control of aphids, leafhoppers, climbing cutworms and cabbage looper on Crop group 25 Herbs and Crop Group 26. Pyganic insecticide was already labelled for management of insects on a wide range of crops in Canada. These minor use proposals were submitted by Agriculture and AgriFood Canada’s Pest Management Centre as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel across Canada.

The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making insect management decisions within a robust integrated insect management program and should consult the complete label before using Pyganic insecticide.
