Rick,
I am forwarding the one response we got to the information request for Mancozeb, which was for turf. Apparently, our specialists and agents in other areas have no problems with the proposed label changes.
"Turf use is listed with questions about mancozeb use and REI's with respect to WPS. The current label verbage should remain without changes. 24 hr is too long of an REI for golf course use. Currently, turf use is exempted from ag WPS and only states that spray must be dry before re-entry. Should stay as is or may impose some hardships for use in turf in the future. These are thoughts to consider for the future for other products as more scrutiny comes down. what are your thoughts? Cactus and Pine might be consulted also for their inputs." (Kai Umeda)
