Revolutionary Herbicide Nomix Dual Replaces Casoron G in Amenity Following the recent withdrawal of Casoron G and other Dichlobenil products, we are delighted to tell you about Nomix Dual, an effective replacement for residual weed control. This breakthrough product delivers a life line for weed control professionals who have been hit hard by the European pesticide review process and the resulting withdrawal of one of the most popular residual active ingredients in the Amenity marketplace. The new alternative, Nomix Dual, is a low volume Total Droplet Control herbicide with a long lasting residual action, that not only offers an effective solution to weed control, but is safer for operators to use. Nomix Dual works to control weeds for up to six months with only one application. This provides a significant time and cost saving, as well as delivering effective control of a wide range of annual and perennial grasses and broad leaved weeds. Nomix Dual is the ideal product for use on gravelled surfaces, shrub beds and around obstacles such as tree bases. The contact action of glyphosate combined with the long lasting action of sulfosulfuron means that visible weeds will be controlled. At the same time an invisible layer will inhibit new growth, reducing the amount of applications required. Nomix Dual is not hazardous to operators, animals or the general public, making it an excellent product for use in public areas.  All Nomix TDC herbicides are pre-mixed and ready to use, eliminating the risk of errors and reducing operator exposure. The unique oil emulsion formulation applies the herbicide at an optimum droplet size that sticks to the leaf or areas where weeds are likely to grow, minimising run off. Its targeted application reduces the amount of herbicide in the environment and ensures minimal wastage.

Pesticide Industry leader launches new information on Best Practice The Crop Protection Association (CPA) has launched a new booklet on the Best Practice for using Amenity Pesticides safely in your local community. There are a number of forthcoming changes to amenity pesticide legislation through the EU Sustainable Use Directive for Pesticides and the EU Water Framework Directive. These important pieces of legislation will shape the way in which we can use pesticides in the amenity industry. The CPA booklet aims to ensure all users of pesticides understand the duty of care for their safe use and the need for 'Best Practice' at all times. If you operate within the guidelines of 'Best Practice' you will ensure compliance with industry legislation today and in the future. The CPA provides informed and practical information in this booklet. The association represents all areas of the pesticide industry from manufacture and formulation, to distribution of products. The CPA is in an excellent position to provide the amenity industry with information on the issues related to amenity herbicide use. In order to comply with the EU Water Framework Directive, our industry has to adhere to ‘Best Practice’ to ensure surface and groundwaters are not contaminated by pesticides.
