Technical update April 2017

Sencorex Flow

As we enter potato planting season, we do so with the imminent loss of linuron.

Products containing the active linuron, can be sold and distributed up until the 3rd

June 2017, with growers allowed until 3rd June 2018 to use up any existing on farm

stocks. The higher rate of Sencorex Flow offers increased flexibility to growers.
