Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–June 27, 2014. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering a request by Texas regulators to allow the use of a controversial herbicide, propazine, to battle Palmer amaranth, a glyphosate-resistant âsuper weedâ that has been plaguing growers of genetically engineered (GE) herbicide-tolerant cotton in the state. Propazine, an active ingredient in Milo-Pro, would be sprayed on up to 3 million acres, which amounts to approximately half of the stateâs estimated crop acreage for this season. As currently proposed, the maximum amount of product to be applied would be 70,314 gallons.
