AgroPages-New Zealand consults on import of BASF's herbicide Arietta-Agricultural news

The New Zealand's Environmental Protection Authority(EPA) is inviting people to share their views on an application to import a new herbicide containing the active ingredient topramezone.

BASF New Zealand Limited has applied to be able to import Arietta, a selective herbicide spray intended to be used to control weeds in maize and sweet corn crops.
The application says Arietta is toxic to humans and aquatic organisms, but poses little risk to birds, bees, and other animals on land.

The applicant considers that if the product is handled according the instructions on the label it will not have any harmful effects on human health or the environment.

The application submission will be open until Oct 4, 2013.
