granted specific exemptions to the:

1. California Department of Pesticide

Regulation for the use of metalaxyl on

watermelons to control weeds; April 4,

1996, to June 30, 1996. (Dave Deegan)

FR 10758). For the past the 3 years an

emergency exemption has been

requested and a complete application

for registration and tolerance petition

has not yet been submitted to the

Agency; additionally, propazine is an

unregistered chemical. The situation

appears to be urgent and nonroutine,

nonroutine. There are no chemical

alternative methods of beet armyworm

or tobacco budworm control that can be

used in Louisiana. Pirate has shown to

be the most effective conventional

alternative against resistant tobacco

budworm. The combination of

tebufenozide and Pirate is

environmentally the most acceptable

combination available against beet

armyworms. (Margarita Collantes)
