With the maintenance of plant health emergency status, the state can give continuity health actions that had already been adopting especially for pest control.

The Gazette yet brings a normative instruction that extends the permissions of emergency use of several agrochemicals to control the earworm until March 18 of 2016. Among those are the products with virus PN-HzSNPV, Bacillus thuringiensis, Chlorantraniliprol, Chlorfenapyr and Indoxacarb.
