Many of the pesticide products Indiana farmers use do not include specialty crops on the container’s label. These uses are often added through 24C Special Local Need (SLN) or supplemental labels, which can be challenging to locate. In response, the Office of the Indiana State Chemist created a “Pesticide Products- Special State Registrations” webpage with PDF files for each product.

This webpage includes all special registrations, from biological insecticides for hemp to insecticides for emerald ash borers to herbicides for use in various fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. For example, the 24C label for Dual Magnum® herbicide expands its use in approximately 70 vegetable, fruit, herb, and ornamental crops. According to the Office of the Indiana State Chemist, the webpage will grow to include Section 18 (emergency exemption labels) and Experimental Use Permits (EUPs).
