blank Fertilizer Update: On The Table

From the March 2007 article "Fertilizer/Growth Regulator Update: In the third of a four-part series on crop protection, we update new products and label changes for plant nutrients and plant growth regulators."

The following plant growth regulators were on the IR-4 program’s August 2006 New Products/Transitional Solutions list. For more information, go to www.ir4.rutgers.edu and look under "Pest Management Technology." You can also find information on pending registrations by going to EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs’ Workplan page www.epa.gov/opprd001/workplan.
