Gus Lorenz, University of Arkansas Extension entomologist, reports that the EPA is currently reviewing the re-registration of aldicarb (formerly known as Temik), now being produced by AgLogic.

The product is currently available in Georgia, with plans to make it available for use in the Mid-South in 2017. Early season tests conducted in the Mid-South this spring indicated that the aldicarb treatment had fewer thrips and less damage than all other treatments.

Lorenz notes that the comment period for the re-registration is open until **June 22.**

His [online blog provides additional details](http://www.arkansas-crops.com/2016/06/13/regarding-aldicarb-pesticide/) and photos, as well as a link to the AgLogic website through which growers can access the EPA comment pages.
