Proposed legislation related to the pesticide, chlorpyrifos (trade name – Dursban) and the herbicide, glyphosate (Roundup) are currently under consideration before the State Legislature’s Environment Committee. Dursban has historically been used to eliminate plant destroying insects such as weevils. Roundup is used on unwanted vegetation such as poison ivy.
Other topics such as labor relations that may be directed primarily toward other industries (farming, landscaping, parks and recreation) continue to be monitored as they may also affect aspects of Connecticut’s golf industry.
