The Oregon Department of Agriculture on Friday temporarily removed a popular pesticide from its list of chemicals cannabis growers may use on their crop.
The state on Friday issued a bulletin “out of an abundance of caution” alerting cannabis growers to a potential labeling problem with a popular mite spray and advising them not to use the product and retailers not to sell it “until further notice.”
A man identifying himself as an owner of the Illinois-based company that makes the product said it contains ivermectin, a chemical similar to abamectin. Ivermectin is not listed on the product label as required.
