American Sugarbeet Growers Association Vice President of Science and Innovation Nick Storer is in his second month on the job. Storer is focused on crop protection technologies and the regulatory process. A federal appeals court vacated the EPA ban on chlorpyrifos and the agency is now working with the companies that produce the product. “The tolerances have been restored so depending on the state, the use of chlorpyrifos is again allowed according to the current label. They’re working with the registrants to adjust those labels to reflect some of the concerns around endangered species.” Storer said it is important for growers to check with state regulators about the use of the insecticide.
