Chateau herbicide - supplemental label for use in olive and pomegranate in California

Good news for minor tree crop weed managers - Chateau SW (active ingredient: flumioxazin) recently received a Supplemental Label that allows use in bearing olive and pomegranate orchards. 

Flumioxazin is a cornerstone preemergence herbicide for many tree and vine crop weed managers.  Prior to this supplemental label approval, it could only be used in non-bearing olive and pomegranate.  This allowed time for the manufacturer and the USDA-IR4 program to complete the residue testing neccessary for use in bearing orchards (standard proceedures).  I'm glad to see this bearing label as it gives another weed management tool for these increasingly important crops in the state which, together, totaled nearly 75,000 acres last time I checked.

I've attached the supplemental label below but encourage you to get the most up-to-date label from your preferred pesticide label source.

Hope to see many of you at the California Weed Science Society (CWSS) meeting later this week in Monterey!
