At this past week’s meeting of the North Dakota Crop Protection Product Harmonization and Registration Board, the discussion centered on EPA’s decision to limit the use of chlorothalonil fungicide for use on chickpeas and dry edible beans. NDSU Research Plant Pathologist Michal Wunsch said this is an important tool for dry bean farmers. “It looks like we dodged a bullet in the sense that they have allowed it to stay registered. It’s just a limit on the amount that can go out every season, but hopefully, enough applications for them to be able to get through a wet year.”
