During a multi-stakeholder teleconference call hosted by Health Canada on June 20, 2018, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) announced that all turf uses of the popular golf course fungicide active ingredient, Iprodione (Rovral, Quali-Pro, Trilogy) are cancelled.
Citing safety risks to food and drinking water, manufacturers will have 24 months to implement label changes. At this time, official end use of Iprodione on turf is June 21, 2021 however PMRA representative Lynn Lee cautioned another special review of the active ingredient was just initiated to look at remaining permissible uses and potentially changes to the timeline for discontinued uses.
