In response to the recent confirmation of the damage potential of green mirids in faba beans, Pulse Australia has successfully applied to the APVMA for a permit to allow the use of dimethoate for the control of mirids in faba beans (PER82378). The permit is active from 1 June 2016 to 31 May 2021, and is applicable in all states, except Victoria, as their Control-of-Use legislation does not require a permit to legalise this off-label use.
The details of the permit are shown below. The PDF of the permit can be accessed on the APVMA website.
