Avitrol Information Request Response -- California
Teung,
The last ag use of Avitrol was reported for 2002. It was applied to 3 acres of avocados with a total of 0.0313 lb ai.
In 2001, there were two applications. One acre of wine grapes was treated with 0.075 lb ai and 0.46 acre of grapefruit was treated with 0.625 lb ai.
I have some non-ag data from 2000 showing use for structural pest control (25.48 lbs ai), landscape maintenance (3.44 lbs ai) and some very small uses at a food processing plant, industrial site, regulatory pest control, rights of way, uncultivated non-ag, and vertebrate control (all less than 1.0 lb ai).
I hope this helps.
