Canada grants carbaryl in special review

The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) proposes to grant the continued registration of certain products containing carbaryl for sale and use in Canada.

Carbaryl is a broad spectrum Resistance Management Group 1A (carbamate) insecticide. In Canada, it is registered to control a wide range of arthropod pests including beetles, moths, fleas, flies, lice, mites, sawflies, crickets, earwigs, grasshoppers, millipedes, sow bugs, thrips, ticks and cockroaches. It is also registered for use in apple thinning.

Carbaryl is used on both agricultural and non-agricultural sites including feed crops, industrial oil seed and fibre crops, livestock, greenhouse tobacco seedlings, companion animals, structures, forestry, food crops, turf, lawns and ornamentals. It is applied by both ground and aerial equipment.
