The Environmental Risk Management Authority has decided there are grounds to reassess the use of the fungicide quintozene in New Zealand.
The decision comes after dioxin impurities were found in quintozene products in Australia at levels that may present health risks to workers who frequently apply them.
Quintozene is used commercially on bulbs and turf in New Zealand.
There is currently one product, Terraclor 75W, registered here. Importer Nufarm has confirmed that it will neither sell nor import quintozene pending the outcome of the reassessment.
