Growers wanting to make a submission on the use of glyphosate to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) have until 23 September to have their say.
The EPA is reviewing the use of the chemical in New Zealand and has called for submissions on its use. To make sure industry groups have time to prepare their submissions, the EPA has extended the deadline until next week.
Information on the submission made on Summerfruit NZ’s behalf, and how to make your own submission, can be found on the portal under Main Menu/Agrichemicals/Agrichemical guidance/EPA asking for submissions on glyphosate use.
