“We are very pleased that the EPA cleared the way for Movento and Ultor to return to the market in time for application during the 2011 growing season,” said Kevin Adam, product manager for Bayer CropScience.

Crops listed on the product container labels for Movento and Ultor remain the same as under the prior registration, and include grapes, citrus, lettuce and apples, among others. For a complete list of approved crops, please refer to the most current product label.

Production and shipment of Movento and Ultor had been halted earlier this year due to an administrative error committed by the EPA during its initial review and approval of spirotetramat in 2008. While conducting its second review, EPA allowed the distribution channel to sell and distribute existing stocks of Movento and Ultor inventory in their possession, and growers could still legally use the products according to the previously approved labeling.

With the recent EPA registration action, growers may purchase and use new product inventory according to label instructions.
