NZ EPA approves Bayer’s aminocyclopyrachlor herbicide

摘要

Bayer’s Crop Science division’s herbicide, Method 240 SL (aminocyclopyrachlor), has received approval for use in New Zealand by the country’s EPA. The approval is the first for the active ingredient in New Zealand. The product is slated to control wilding conifers and other woody plants on non-crop farmland, conservation land, and recreational parks. Bayer says that the herbicide has “fewer hazards, including much lower risks to people, with lower application rates than other herbicides currently used on wilding conifers”.
