Canada clears continued registration of herbicide quinclorac

Date:11-02-2016

After a re-evaluation of quinclorac, the Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA)  has proposed to grant continued registration of products containing quinclorac for sale and use in Canada.

Quinclorac is a herbicide registered for use on cereal and oilseed crops in the Prairie Provinces and Peace River region of British Columbia to control and/or suppress certain grassy and broadleaved weeds. Quinclorac products can be applied once per season every second year using ground equipment only. A total of eleven products containing quinclorac are currently registered under the authority of the Pest Control Products Act, including two technical grade active ingredients, a manufacturing concentrate and eight commercial class end-use products.

Quinclorac Products Registered in Canada as of 5 January 2016, Excluding Discontinued Products or Products with a Submission for Discontinuation
