Hygeia highlights responsible use of MCPA

Hygeia continues to re-enforce the responsible use of MCPA products for rush control. This campaign continues to increase awareness on the correct use of these products and the importance of protecting our waterways. Hygeia is a manufacturer and distributor of well-known brands such as Mortone, Agroxone, Mortone Gold and the adjuvant Presto.

As part an ongoing campaign, Hygeia continues to roll-out of information packs for customers and will continue to provide in-store training and farm demonstrations. Social media and print advertising will be utilised to communicate to both end users and retailers as well as in-store information such as posters and leaflets.

“We at Hygeia are committed to MCPA and want this invaluable and vital control to be available to Irish farmers for the future. Some of the key points to note include respecting the 5 metre buffer zone from water courses, not spraying in waterlogged fields, never filling the sprayer from a river, washing out the sprayer and disposing of washings by spraying out in the field” says Brendan Moran, Head of Regulation at Hygeia.
