Dear Colleagues:
Bayer CropSciences is voluntarily canceling ethoprop EC on pineapples. I know that EPA has discussed ethoprop EC and bananas with Hawaii already. The granular formulation WILL REMAIN.
I just want to make sure that ethoprop EC is not needed for the pineapple growers.
I did not see ethoprop or Mocap mentioned in the crop profiles for pineapples for either Hawaii or the Northern Marianas
We need your feedback in the next week or two.
