Chlorpyrifos Concerns Remain

American Sugarbeet Growers Association CEO Luther Markwart is pleased with the EPA’s decision to create new guidelines for the use of chlorpyrifos. “Farmers rely on these pesticides to protect crops from destructive pests and maintain important conservation practices,” said Markwart. There are still some important considerations in Minnesota. “When EPA revoked the tolerances, Minnesota did not renew the registration for chlorpyrifos.” ASGA plans to work closely with the EPA as it writes new rules around chlorpyrifos.
