Since the Trade Winds note and Issues Alert to members, CSTA staff have been working closely with their value chain partners to ensure a collaborative and fulsome response to PMRA's proposed decision to phase out the use of imidacloprid.

Next Steps:

  • Let Dave Carey know if you use imidacloprid as a seed treatment on your products: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

  • CSTA will draft talking points for their members to use should they choose to draft a submission.
  • CSTA will draft a submission to PMRA by the deadline of February 21.
  • CSTA will meet with PMRA senior management when the board is in Ottawa for their annual lobby day.
