Suspension of 2,4-D Ethyl Ester and 2,4-D Isobutyl Ester Active Constituent Approvals and

Registration of Products containing 2,4-D Isobutyl Ester

The APVMA has suspended the active constituent approvals of 2,4-D ethyl ester and 2,4-D isobutyl ester as listed in

Table 1, and the registration of products containing 2,4-D isobutyl ester as listed in Table 2 of this notice.

The suspension is in effect from 5 June 2012 until 10 August 2012.

The reason for the suspension1 of the active constituent approvals listed in Table 1 [under Section 37(1)(b) Agricultural

and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 (Agvet Code)] arises from the fact that the abovementioned active constituent

approval holder failed to give information, or results of trials or experiments to the APVMA in response to the APVMA’s

Section 33 notices of 1 September 2006 and 12 November 2007.

1 These actions form part of the review (“reconsideration”) of 2,4-D active constituent approvals, product registrations and associated

label approvals. Approvals and registrations granted after the commencement of the review in 2003 are subject to the outcomes of the

current review of 2,4-D as notified in the July 2003 gazette (page 42) and stated in the conditions of registration.



The APVMA has also suspended all registrations of products containing 2,4-D isobutyl ester as a consequence of the

suspension of all approved sources of the active constituent of 2,4-D isobutyl ester2. Section 44(1) of the Agvet Codes

states that if the APVMA suspends or cancels the only approval, or all the approvals, of an active constituent for an

existing chemical product, it must also suspend the registration of any product containing that active constituent.

Therefore, the APVMA has suspended the registrations of all products containing 2,4-D isobutyl ester (Table 2).

Please note that this suspension does not affect registrations of products containing 2,4-D ethyl ester as there remains

an approved source of the active constituent 2,4-D ethyl ester.

Please note that in giving effect to the interrelated suspension of product registrations listed in Table 2, the APVMA

has revoked a previous suspension pertaining to these registrations; the previous suspension, and reasons for the

suspension, are detailed in the APVMA Gazette dated 1 February 2012. This process is an administrative step and

does not indicate the concerns underpinning the 1 February 2012 suspension have been addressed for products

containing 2,4-D isobutyl ester. The environmental concerns posed by the use of 2,4-D high volatile esters still apply.

The suspension has only been revoked for the products listed in Table 2 and the suspension of 1 February 2012 still

applies to products containing 2,4-D butyl ester and 2,4-D ethyl ester.

If, for any reason the APVMA revokes this suspension, the APVMA will consider reinstating the 1 February 2012

suspension for product registrations because of remaining environmental concerns.

The APVMA has issued the following instructions for using or dealing with suspended active constituents or product

containing 2,4-D isobutyl ester. Please note that the instructions for suspended products are similar to those imposed for

the 1 February 2012 suspension.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSSESSING, HAVING CUSTODY OF, USING OR OTHERWISE DEALING WITH THE

SUSPENDED ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS AND DEALING WITH PRODUCTS CONTAINING SUSPENDED ACTIVE

APVMA may cancel any permit and issue a replacement permit at any time prior to the expiry dates on the permit

PER13339. Before using, supplying or otherwise dealing with products containing 2,4-D isobutyl ester, suppliers and

users need to be satisfied that the instructions set out at the end of this notice continue to apply, and that their activities

are authorised by a permit. The current permit is available at http://www.apvma.gov.au/permits/search.php.

Code.

purposes of advising users about the modified instructions for use).

Permissible Dates of Application of 2,4-D High Volatile Esters

Application of products containing 2,4-D isobutyl ester must only take place during the winter spray window between

1 May and 31 August.

Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland currently have mechanisms whereby the use of specific

chemicals (including 2,4-D) is restricted to geographical areas and/or time zones due to the higher risk for adverse off-

target crop or environmental effects. These state restrictions on 2,4-D use may place additional requirements on users

within the winter spray window between 1 May and 31 August. For example, the length of the spray window and the type

of spray equipment that can be used may be restricted. Users must consult their local authority or department of

agriculture to ensure they meet state requirements.

Application of 2,4-D only within the winter spray window will minimise the risk of unintended harmful effects to native

vegetation and susceptible crops.

Avoid spraying upwind of nearby susceptible crops.



RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS

Within 24 hours of completing a 2,4-D isobutyl ester application all users must make and keep a record of each

application. The details required in a 2,4-D ester spray record must, at least, include the information set out below. It is

recommended, and considered good practice, that the grower collects from any person acting on his or her behalf a copy

of the 2,4-D ester spray record. (For convenience, a 2,4-D record-keeping form can be obtained from the Australian

Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority website.)
