Four more ais in EU Annex I

The European Commission has confirmed the re-registration of four active ingredients: the insecticide/acaricide, buprofezin; the herbicide, cycloxydim; and the fungicides, dodine and hymexazol. The four ais were cleared by the EU Standing Committee for the Food Chain and Animal Health late last year ( Agrow No 606, p 12). Buprofezin was added to Annex I of the EU agrochemical registration Directive (91/414) on February 1st, while cycloxydim, dodine and hymexazol will be added on June 1st 2011.
