Title: aminopyralid petition
Post by: digmyplot on October 04, 2009, 14:57:11
Hi

You have until October 23 to add your name to the petition to stop the pesticide aminopyralid being reinstated. If you signed last year to get it withdrawn I think you need to sign again.

The petition is here:

This has probably been posted elsewhere but just in case

The approval of the Dow AgroSciences herbicide, aminopyralid, has been reinstated by ministers on the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Pesticides.
