EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of September
27, 1995 (60 FR 49838; FRL-4971-4), which announced that Kaken
Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Agrochemical and Animal Health Products
Division, of Japan, represented by Stewart Pesticide Registration
Associates, Inc., Suite 603, 1901 North Moore St., Arlington, VA 22209,
had submitted applications to register the pesticide products STOPIT
Wettable Powder Turf Fungicide and Polyoxin D Zinc Salt Technical (EPA
File Symbols 68173-E and 68173-R), containing the new active ingredient
polyoxin D zinc salt (1:1), zinc 5-[[2-amino-5-O-(aminocarbonyl)-2-
deoxy-L-xylonoyl]amino]-1-(5-carboxy-3,4-dihydro-2,4-dioxo-1 (2H)-
pyrimidinyl)-1,5-dideoxy--D-allofuranuronate at 2.5 and 23.8
percent respectively, an active ingredient not included in any
previously registered products.
The applications were approved on August 20, 1997, as STOPIT
Wettable Powder Turf Fungicide for use on turf of golf courses, home
lawns, parks, and commercial and institutional grounds (EPA
Registration Number 68173-2) and Polyoxin D Zinc Salt Technical for
formulation into fungicidal end-use products (EPA Registration Number
68173-1).
The Agency has considered all required data on risks associated
with the proposed use of polyoxin D zinc salt (1:1), zinc 5-[[2-amino-
5-O-(aminocarbonyl)-2-deoxy-L-xylonoyl]amino]-1-(5-carboxy-3,4-dihydro-
2,4-dioxo-1 (2H)-pyrimidinyl)-1,5-dideoxy--D-allofuranuronate,
and information on social, economic, and environmental benefits to be
derived from use. Specifically, the Agency has considered the nature of
the chemical and its pattern of use, application methods and rates, and
level and extent of potential exposure. Based on these reviews, the
Agency was able to make basic health and safety determinations which
show that use of polyoxin D zinc salt (1:1), zinc 5-[[2-amino-5-O-
(aminocarbonyl)-2-deoxy-L-xylonoyl]amino]-1-(5-carboxy-3,4-dihydro-2,4-
dioxo-1 (2H)-pyrimidinyl)-1,5-dideoxy--D-allofuranuronate when
used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice,
will not generally cause unreasonable adverse effects to the
environment.
More detailed information on these registrations is contained in an
EPA Pesticide Fact Sheet on Polyoxin D zinc salt.
A copy of this fact sheet, which provides a summary description of
the pesticides, use patterns and formulations, science findings, and
the Agency's regulatory position and rationale, may be obtained from
