14. EPA (May 2024) Paragraph 4.65 of the decision says that based on the weight of evidence presented by submitters, the committee concluded that, with controls in place, the risks to in-field soil organisms from the application of hydrogen cyanide are negligible. https://www.epa.govt.nz/assets/FileAPI/hsno-ar/APP203974/APP203974_20240523_Final-Decision.pdf
15. NuFarm (2024) While the new controls take effect immediately, the new label requirements take effect from 1 July 2025. The DMC stated in paragraph 4.49 of the decision that it is important that users of Hi-cane are informed of the updated risks and requirements during this transitional period (See para 4.49 of the decision). Nufarm has therefore produced additional information for users which lists all of the controls until the labels are updated.
