Pesticide storage

[BillieBox]

I heard from someone today, that said they had to order a large amount of pesticide and store it for a year. Is that what you are doing? Don't you order it on as and when required or are you stockpiling?

Some chems getting withdrawn need buying ahead as you can continue to use them for quite a while after not bring able to buy them anymore

The main one currently is chlorotalonil. It has to be sold by 20th November 2019 and used up by 20th May 2020.

It's not unusual for farmers to stockpile sprays out of season when terms are good. I bought another 20' shipping container for this purpose and modified it so it meets BASIS standards regarding bunding, fire protection etc. I'm sure such practices are good for sellers of chemical stores
