EPA Issues New Proposed Restrictions for Atrazine

On Thursday, June 30th, the U.S. EPA issued new proposed use restrictions for atrazine. Atrazine, a commonly used herbicide across a range of crops, is registered by Syngenta. Primary changes to the label are aimed at limiting risk of the herbicide interacting with water that may move from the targeted application area during heavy rainfalls. The proposed label is open for a 60 day comment period.
