Regulation

The United States

Bayer CropScience and Nichino America to submit a voluntary cancellation, which they rejected.[1] The EPA then announced its intent to cancel its conditional approval of flubendiamide in March 2016.[2] The registration was cancelled later in 2016.[3]

The product is available in other jurisdictions such as Europe[4] and India.[5]
