Dow AgroSciences has reached an agreement with the State of California to cease the registration and sale of chlorpyrifos.
Terms for the agreement are as follows:
Chlorpyrifos is an important tool farmers use as a part of their integrated pest management programs to protect California’s food supply from invasive species. It is used on more than 800,000 acres and more than 60 crops including tree nuts, vegetables, grapes, citrus, cotton and alfalfa, and the loss of the pesticide will make it even more difficult for farmers to continue grow safe, healthy and abundant food.
Western Growers encourages the State of California to quickly develop alternative products to replace the loss of this important crop protection tool.
Farming has never been more challenging, which is why Western Growers invests in fully committed advocates – your advocates – in Sacramento, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C. Only Western Growers offers members so many business services, supported by more than 400 dedicated employees.
