Carbetamide (crawler)
Crawler (600g/kg carbetamide) is a herbicide for the control of black-grass and other grass and broad-leaved weeds in oilseed rape.
Despite the three-year active substance extension issued by CRD for carbetamide, the product extension will not automatically follow for crawler.
• Authorisations for sale and supply end on 30 November 2021. • Authorisations for disposal, storage and use end on 30 November 2022.
Metaldehyde – reminder
• Authorisations for sale and supply end on 31 March 2021. • Authorisations for disposal, storage and use end on 31 March 2022.
From 1 April 2022, it will be illegal to sell and use metaldehyde products.
An IPM approach to slug control is more effective than relying solely on slug pellets and will help ensure maximum protection to the environment.
