AHDB applies for emergency approval of Vydate after ban
7 January 2021 |
The nematicide is seen as an important tool for growers
AHDB has applied for emergency approval to provide limited use of Vydate after the government confirmed that it will not re-authorise the pesticide.
As of 1 January this year, the nematode treatment is no longer approved for use in the United Kingdom.
The nematicide is an important tool for growers of sugar beet, potatoes, onions, carrots and other field veg to control pests on their crop.
The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) applied for emergency approval for the 2021 growing season, particularly for growers who lack alternative pest control options.
