FLUMIOXAZIN ( VALENT ) AGAVE ( 22A = STALK AND STEM VEGETABLE SUBGROUP ) POTENTIAL: E/CS DATA BEFORE APPROVAL FOR RESIDUE STUDY (02) CA; CA; CA; CA; DC; HI; NM;


Reasons for need: Preemergence and broad spectrum control for annual broadleaf and grass weeds; Agave does not yet have registered herbicides. Growers believe this product will be the best choice for the regions where agave is grown in the United States:08/23; CA/Effective weed control is essential to us for several reasons. Less weeds means increased production, reduced labor costs and habitat for harmful pests, and possibly most important, the increased efficient use of water during this era of drought and requirements of the SGMA & Our highest cost growing agave is weed control. Weeds are bad for water use and increased pests in the field; HI/Despite its small size and limited number of growers, Hawaii's Agave industry has potential for growth. There are no conventional herbicides registered on Agave & We could be interested in planting agave if there were a way to keep the weeding costs under control:08/23
