Pesticide Product Updates Effecting Berry Growers:
Betamix will no longer be manufactured and
stock will quickly run out at the retail level. Growers can continue to
use Betamix until supply runs out. Going forward growers should rely more
heavily on pre emergent residual herbicides in the establishment year.
Poast Ultra will be discontinued after 2023.
This may put pressure on the supply of alternative chemistry.
The table below outlines new product registrations for 2023.
