Kyrgyzstan has officially banned the use of pesticides containing the active ingredient isofenphos-methyl. The decision was made by the Department of Chemization, Protection and Quarantine of Plants. This action aims to protect public health and the environment from the risks associated with this highly hazardous pesticide. Isofenphos-methyl is known for its toxicity and potential negative impacts. The ban prohibits the import, sale, and use of any pesticide formulations containing the substance within the country. Authorities have not yet specified the timeline for implementation or details regarding the disposal of existing stocks. This move aligns with international efforts to phase out particularly dangerous pesticides.
