EPA published a proposed interim decision for the fungicide Ziram and requested public comments. USApple submitted comments in July, explaining that fungicides are a valuable tool for apple growers, and Ziram is one of the few effective multi-site fungicides available to treat apple scab, bitter rot, and various other rots and molds.
As growing seasons continue to lengthen, USApple said in its comments, it is important that growers continue to have access to the tools needed to supply a safe and healthy product to consumers. We will keep members updated on next steps from EPA.
