Califoia tightens rules on use of Telone
Califoia will tighten rules on how much farmers can use the common pesticide Telone, listed by the nation's most productive agricultural state as a chemical known to cause cancer, regulators said Thursday.
Growers in Califoia applied more than 13 million pounds of the chemical in 2014, the last year for which complete information was available, according to the Califoia Department of Pesticide Regulation.
Most of it was applied in Fresno, Ke, Merced, Monterey and Tulare counties, on soil used to grow almonds, strawberries, sweet potatoes, grapes, carrots, peppers, tomatoes and other unspecified row crops, according to the department.
The change doesn't ban Telone but creates a uniform rule for its application each year. The rule is drawing criticism from farmers who call it a key way to fight pests and fear the crackdown could lead to higher food prices.
