For a select group of chemicals PMRA has added transfer
statements to the label that require a "Closed Transfer System" be
used when loading the sprayer. Some berry products will be effected by
these changes. If you use the following products these may affect
you.
Products with standard CTS label statement:
Lorox L Herbicide
Ethrel PGR
Dibrom Insecticide
Products that require CTS without standard label
statement:
Bravo ZN Fungicide (bulk totes
only, chlorothalonil in 10 L jugs does not require CTS)
Captan 480 SC Fungicide (ADAMA or
Sharda) and Captan L (Syngenta) (only if open cab AND exceeding a maximum L/day
threshold)
Captan 4 Flowable -requires a
closed cab or extra PPE
The WSP Captan formulations do not
require this transfer system as they are in a water soluble pouch which limits
exposure
Products that may require CTS but not clear on the label:
Sevin XLR Insecticide – “use a
closed mixing system”

These restrictions were added as the chemicals went through
the routine re-evaluation process. As other chemicals go through the PMRA
re-evaluation process additional products may require a "CTS" in the
future.
