Bayer Forced To Halt U.S. Sales Of Insecticide

‘Bayer AG has just announced that its agricultural unit will halt future U.S. sales of its insecticide flubendiamide.
Known commonly as Belt, flubendiamide has the capacity to be used on more than 200 crops including soybeans, tobacco and almonds. Many of these crops will receive as many as six applications a year according to the EPA.
Flubendiamide is the active ingredient in Nichino America’s Tourismo and Vetica insecticides as well as in Bayer’s Belt brand. The insecticide sales are being halted as a result of Bayer losing a fight with the EPA over the insecticide’s risk to the environment.’
