This notice complies with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and invites the public to comment on these applications by January 6, 2025. The document lists several new active ingredients and their proposed uses, including a herbicide for soybeans and an insecticide/nematicide for seed treatment.
