Cranberry growers can keep using a specific pesticide for three more years

US environmental regulators extended the approval for a pesticide called propyzamide on cranberries. This means cranberry growers can continue to use it until the end of 2028.

Emergency exemptions for pesticides are usually temporary. This extension means that for specific crops, these 'temporary' solutions can become long-term. It allows growers to rely on a chemical that might not otherwise meet standard approval processes.
