Acrolein Information Request -- Arizona Response
Rick,
I'm sorry for my late response on Acrolein. You'd asked for a response by Jan 24, and it slipped by my radar.
Based on the information requested for Arizona in the table, I sent this to our Citrus faculty and stakeholders. Please see the response below from James Truman, Farm Manager for the Citrus Agricultural Center. Short answer is we are no longer using it.

Hi Al-
Last week was hectic for me as we were preparing for our annual field
day here at the Citrus Center and I forgot to get back to you about
Acrolein. From what I have learned from growers and irrigation districts,
no one is currently using, or has used for several years, Magnacide
containing Acrolein for water-weed and algae control.
Hope that information is helpful.
James
