A3B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 21,1984 Larvadex intervention DOVER, Del. The Delaware Department of Agriculture has asked the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and the state’s congressional delegation to in tervene in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) recent decision to postpone the registration of Larvadex, a feed through insecticide used for control of flies in poultry houses. Robert C. Berry, Director of Production and Promotion, Delaware Department of Agriculture, says the EPA’s tuning is unfortunate because farmers in New Castle County and in avian influenza affected areas of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia had been using Larvadex to help stop the spread of the disease. ‘Ever since the USDA deter mined flies were potential earners of avian influenza, farmers in New Castle County were able to use Larvadex under a special exemp tion pending its final approval by the EPA. Now, not only has our exemption been lifted, it looks as though the larvicides registration has been seriously delayed,” said Berry. ‘We’ve been told the next 10 weeks are critical in controlling avian flu.

Unfortunately, we’ve just lost a valuable tool in our fight just when fly populations are at their worst.” The EPA withdrew the exemp tion from the 4 states after “a rereview of a teratology study conducted on rabbits showed evidence of fetotoxic effects (adverse effects to fetuses) at the lowest dose tested,” according to a telegram sent to the Delaware Department of Agriculture. As a result, the EPA asked Ciba- Geigy, the makers of Larvadex to conduct new rabbit fetal toxicity tests. Ciba-Geigy countered the study will be a repeat of the study reviewed and accepted by the agency almost two years ago. Donald J. Lynch, Delaware Agriculture Secretary has sent a letter to U.S. Agriculture Secretary John Block, asking him to consider the implications of the special exemption withdrawal. Similar letters have also been sent to Delaware’s Congressional delegation asking for support in getting the EPA to reconsider its move.

McNamara had only praise for his budget committee, management and staff for their dedicated effort to present NEDCO delegates and members a break even budget. “It was the decision of the delegate body to strengthen NEDCO operations and equity," he said. “I believe our people responded to this challenge in a professional fashion, presenting NEDCO with a strong and positive financial future for its 3,000 local cooperative members,” Mc- Namara said.
