The use patterns on potatoes reported by the 1994 Meeting are still in effect, except in the USA where requirements such as the use of positive-displacement application (PDA) equipment, the exclusion of in-furrow irrigation and new PHIs of 100 and 150 days in Florida and the Pacific Northwest States, respectively, have been included on the labels. The approved rate for PDA application is 3.36 kg ai/ha.
The countries in which aldicarb is still used on bananas are Argentina, Cameroon, Egypt, France, Ivory Coast, South Africa and Zimbabwe. The recommended use has been changed to a maximum of two applications per year, a maximum rate of 2 g ai per plant, and a PHI of 180 days.
