The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for Gesagard 480SC® Herbicide for control of labeled weeds on parsley in Canada. Gesagard 480SC® Herbicide was already labeled for use on a number of crops in Canada for control of several weeds.
This minor use project was submitted by the national minor use program at Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Pest Management Centre as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.
The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making weed management decisions within a robust integrated weed management program and should consult the complete label before using Gesagard 480SC® Herbicide.
