Ashland Receives EPA Approval for agrimer eco-coat Seed Coating
Ashland announces the United States Environmental Protection Agency has officially posted and approved its petition under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act for agrimer eco-coat polymer seed coating for crop care. This innovative ingredient is based on the company's patented Transformed Vegetable Oils technology. Approval means the ingredient can now be used in all food and non-food pesticide formulations under regulation 40 CFR 180.960. The FIFRA Food Use Tolerance Exemption petition posting now enables U.S. growers as well as those previously approved in Latin America, Europe and other regions, the opportunity to buy, sell and test Ashland agrimer eco-coat polymer seed coating.
