New Zealand to extend the use of Syngenta’s insecticide Ampligo

Date:08-02-2016

The New Zealand Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has proposed a hearing on an application to extend the use of the insecticide Ampligo.

Ampligo contains the active ingredients lambda-cyhalothrin and chlorantraniliprole and has current approval for a maximum of three applications per season. The applicant, Syngenta, is seeking four applications per season, so it can be used on a broader range of crops.
