DIMETHENAMID-P ( BASF ) LEEK ( 03-07B = ONION, GREEN SUBGROUP ) MFG OBJECTIVE (05) CA; DC; TX;


Reasons for need: Yellow nutsedge and annual broadleaf weeds, Currently the only effective herbicide for leeks is Dacthal which is applied as a preemergent at transplanting. There are no effective post emergent herbicides that are registered for use on leeks. Dacthal is being withdrawn by the EPA and it will no longer be manufactured. Without Dacthal, there are no other effective herbicides for weed control. Nutsedge is also a troublesome weed in leek production:08/23; TX/We are a large producer of leeks. They are a crucial commodity in the overall success of our business. We grow in Texas and New Jersey and we face heavy pest and disease issues with limited tools. This would be an important option to help remain competitive with Mexico:08/23
