US EPA confirms sulfoxaflor approvals

摘要

The US EPA has confirmed its decision to reinstate the registration of Dow AgroSciences sulfoxaflor (trademarked as Isoclast)-based insecticides, Transform and Closer, on a reduced number of crops with restrictions aimed at minimising risks to bees. The move was proposed in May and received heavy criticism from beekeepers and honey producers that had contested the original registration.
