Crop Protection Products

Several insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, crop desiccants, stored grain insecticides and rodenticides are registered or under permit for use in pulse crops. Registrations for some products vary between states. Always check the label before using. All registered products can be found using the APVMA - Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicines Authority database. Observe all witholding periods and record all product use on the GTA Grain Commodity Vendor Declaration, GTA SafeMeat Declaration Form and Commodity Declaration Form (mungbean), where applicable.
