[QUOTE="Bogweevil, post: 5597950, member: 48190"] Um LD50 diquat 102mg/kg, 1,538 to greater than 10,000 mg/kg LD50 glyphosate. Don't need much diquat to kill. Diquat is already beyond hope it seems: [I]Following the Appeal Committee meeting on 12 July 2018, in which no opinion was reached regarding a proposal from the European Commission to withdraw the approval of diquat, The European Commission has decided to implement its proposal not to renew its approval in the EU. This decision applies to all products containing diquat, and was based on concerns related to the precautionary principle of exposure of bystanders and residents, as well as birds. The European Commission has proposed that diquat is withdrawn from the market by 4 May 2019, with a use-up period for growers up to 4 February 2020. However, the Chemicals Regulation Division of the Health and Safety Executive is yet to set out specific sell-out and use-up periods for UK growers.[/I] Glufosinate ammonium for you spud growers? Sorry: [I]1. From 31 July 2018, glufosinate will be withdrawn from the list of approved active substances included in Regulation (EU) No 540/201. As Article 29 (1)(a) of Regulation (EC) 1107/2009 can no longer be met, all products containing glufosinate must be withdrawn from that date. [/I] [I]2. This Notice withdraws sale and distribution of existing stocks by any persons on 31 January 2019. Disposal, storage and use of existing stocks expires on 31 January 2020.[/I] [/QUOTE]
