Introduction
Permit 13999 V6: Dimethoate / Olives – for oil production only / Olive Lace Bug / Green Vegetable Bug / Rutherglen Bug has been recently issued by the regulator Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), effective to 31 March 2021.
The withholding period is 6 weeks (42 days) after application – do not harvest, graze or cut treated areas for stockfeed
Jurisdiction: All States
Note: APVMA have advised that any further renewal of the off-label use of dimethoate based insecticide products to control olive lace bug in olive trees for oil production will require appropriate confirmatory residue data from a minimum of four Australian trials conducted on olives.
As this will require a significant expenditure from the Olive Fund, AOA is seeking feedback from olive growers on their use of agri-chemicals and other control options, especially for olive lace bug.
