Dear Colleagues,
Attached is a request for information regarding the fungicide botran on celery, lettuce, grapes, snap beans, apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums, prunes, sweet cherries and Christmas trees.
Please respond back to me with any concerns and I will forward replies to USDA. Those of you in the PNW should reply to Jane Thomas.
Thank you for your assistance.
Regards,
Rick

Center Directors,
Attached is a word file that asks some specific questions about reducing
rates and increasing REIs for crops treated with the fungicide, Botran.
These are EPA's proposals in chart form, hence the need to create a word
file.
I would appreciate it if you could respond within three weeks. Thanks for your assistance.
