Arkema Fumigant Gets US EUP
15 May 2007 Paladin is a novel pre-plant soil fumigant for the treatment of weeds, soil-borne plant pathogens, and nematodes in soils to be planted with vegetable and fruit crops where plastic-culture is used for fumigation as a substitute for methyl bromide in certain applications.
UPI will be evaluating Paladin alone and in combination with chloropicrin for efficacy and marketable yield in direct comparison to methyl bromide in this EUP program. Crops being evaluated will include eggplants, cucumbers, melons, peppers, tomatoes, squash, and strawberries where plastic film is used for fumigation. UPI will provide product stewardship, storage and handling, and transportation training for Paladin EUP participants. Applicators using Paladin under this EUP will be required to participate in UPI’s formal training program.
