EMERGENCY REGISTRATION OF FUNGICIDE APPROVED

Released on July 20, 2000

Health Canada has approved Saskatchewan's request for emergency registration of

the fungicide Bravo Ultrex to control fungal disease in the province's pulse

crops.



The province applied for emergency registration of Bravo Ultrex to the Pest

Management Regulatory Agency of Health Canada because supplies of the

registered fungicide Bravo 500 are limited and may be insufficient to protect

the province's 4.8 million acres of pulse crops.



Fungal diseases produce lesions on stems that can kill chickpea, lentil and

field pea plants and directly impact yields. Even lesions on leaves and pods

reduce yields and quality.



"I am pleased that Health Canada has approved the province's recent request for

an emergency registration," Agriculture and Food Minister Clay Serby said.

"This gives producers the means to protect their crops from potential loss of

yield and quality."



Higher than normal rainfall during June and July has caused ascochyta blight

and anthracnose to develop in pulse crops, especially ascochyta blight on

chickpea.
