Illegal FIESTA Pesticide Usage – University of Guleph – Pam Charbonneau – Why read the label when we can make it up?

As of today there is nowhere in the PMRA Documentation that says using Fiesta 4 times a year is according to label directions.

Charbonneau has gone from 1 Application required (in order to get the pesticide ban in place and offer an alternative) to now 4 applications of Fiesta.

The label of course has always said 2 Applications per year only.

The Manufacturers Website Fiesta

It is an Offence under the Pesticides Act to use a product inconsistent with label directions.  LETS TAKE HER TO TASK LINDA MCINTOSH of the PRMA. Linda can be reached at 416-952-7101 COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN.

This is what Pam Charbonneau is suggesting for FIESTA herbicide treatments in ONTARIO.

There is no need to panic about applying the post-emergence herbicide Fiesta. It works best on a broad spectrum of weeds if two applications are made in the spring and then two in the fall.
