Few chemicals fully regitered by board
Wellington reporter j Less than a third of the products submitted to the Agricultural Chemicals Board for registration are; fully registered, according to i the board’s annual report. i A total of 2883 appli-1 cations for registration had; been received by the board since its formation in 1959. Of these, 888 had been given full registration and 138 provisional registration. Full registration allowed general sales and use, and
was given only when the board was satisfied that the material would do what its label claimed. Instructions on the label had to meet the board’s requirements. Provisional registration allowed trials to continue on use of the product under New Zealand conditions. The 1026 products registered had a total of 324 active ingredients, the report said. Of these, herbicides (113), insecticides (101), and fungicides (69) were the most common.
