<< Finally made it to the local family-owned gardening center yesterday to
purchase Cygon 2E. I was told by the owners that it will no longer be
available for them to sell. They had 2 bottles on the shelf from last year.
Does anyone know if this ban applies only to OTC sales? >>
There may be some sort of "ban" on Cygon 2E in NC (but I doubt it). My
contacts at USEPA tell me there is no national ban on Cygon, a rather mild
systemic (but as with all such chemicals to be handled with great caution).
Your garden center may just have decided not to carry it---or their supplier
may have done. If you have an agricultural coop store nearby (here we have
Southern States) you can get Cygon from them---if they don't have on the
shelf, they will order it for you. Clarence Mahan in VA
