February and March are busy times at Degesch America, Inc. with several industry trade shows occurring.

Special thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth at one of these events.
US EPA is currently evaluating industry supplied data as part of the current re-registration process. The re-registration process was begun in September 2013. Current estimates indicate that the revised labeling should hopefully be available in 2020.
