May I direct you to the Bracken Control Group website. This Group has been established to consider all bracken management issues, but the final trigger was the ban of Asulam (Asulox in its most common form). The website has details about the status of the ban and what the Group is doing to maintain a supply of asulam while the application for re-registration of the chemical for bracken control takes place. Asulam may be banned, but there is a route that we are following to maintain its availability through a series of 120-day Emergency Authorisations. There are many unknowns, but for the moment, you should plan on asulam being available. Please contact the Group through the website if you would like to know more.
