Pyraflufen-ethyl in the Product Ecopar Forte Herbicide

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has before it an application from Sipcam Pacific Australia Pty Ltd to vary the registration of the product, Ecopar Forte Herbicide, containing 40 g/L pyraflufen-ethyl, to include the control of annual broadleaf weeds in oats. When applied to oaten crops, the product will be mixed with a registered MCPA amine product prior to application (similar to the registered use-pattern for wheat, barley and triticale). The proposed extension of use does not require any MRL changes to the current MRL standards for pyraflufen-ethyl.
