The British Crop Production Council has published the 2012 edition of The UK Pesticide Guide.
The publication is a reference book for those using, or advising on, pesticide products in the UK market.
Martin Lainsbury, editor of guide said: “Since EC Regulation 1107/2009 came into force in June 2011 changes to pesticide approvals are now in place and must be complied with.
“The launch of The UK Pesticide Guide 2012 is therefore a timely reminder to pesticide users of the products that can be legally used. It will also help with some prudent planning for the forthcoming spray season.
“This year’s guide shows that many existing products have now been issued with revised expiry dates and some, which were due to expire, have now been granted extensions. This is all good news for farmers and growers.
“However, on thedownside, a number of products have been lost so this edition will identify what products can still be legally used and what must be safely disposed of from pesticide stores.”
The guide costs £44.50. Copies are now available from BCPC.
