What is the status of Lordsban?


Dear University Cooperator,

Chlorpyrifos Update

Last night the Department of Justice petitioned for a rehearing of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision from August 9, 2018 against Chlorpyrifos.  This decision stays (halts) the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision until a new hearing takes place.  We will continue to provide updates on Chlorpyrifos as they become available.  At this point there is no timeline for a new hearing and all registered uses of Chlorpyrifos remain in place.

Chlorpyrifos has played a key role in pest management efforts in the U.S. and around the world for more than 50 years, and remains a critical tool used to protect a number of critical U.S. food crops from damage and significant loss of yield due to insect pests. There are a number of stakeholders that are advocating for growers and Chlorpyrifos, including Secretary Perdue. He understands the importance of Chlorpyrifos to the American farmer and issued a release which can be found at the link below which is one of many examples of the advocacy for Chlorpyrifos:


Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
