Methyl Parathion (Penncap-M) - Correction 4/92

Methyl Parathion

     In the January 30, 1992 issue of this network it was indicated that the
use of methyl parathion on a number of commodities was not being supported by
Cheminova, the basic registrant.  While this was true, the use of methyl
parathion on a number of these same commodities is being supported by Elf
Atochem, a formulator, on their Penncap-M Microencapsulated Insecticide label.
The current situation is that the use of methyl parathion is not being
supported by either the basic registrant, Cheminova, or by Elf Atochem

(Penncap-M) for the following uses:  beets (red), clover, cucumbers, eggplant,
forests (pine), forests (mosquito control), garlic (SLN), gooseberries, hops,
kohlrabi, melons, peppers, pumpkins, rutabagas, safflower, squash,
strawberries, sweet potatoes, and tobacco.  Also, Elf Atochem plans to support
the crops currently on the Penncap-M label (except artichokes and tobacco); in
addition the following crops will be added to the Penncap-M label which are
being dropped by Cheminova:  almonds, apricots, citrus, Christmas (pine)
trees, corn (pop), peanuts, pecans, and walnuts.
