HSC eases its farming chemical ban
The government’s Hazardous Substance Committee (HSC) Thursday (August 30) revised its decision to ban three major chemicals in vegetable and herb farming. The chemicals, paraquat, chlorpyrifos and glyphosate, are now only partially restricted. They can still be used in six kinds of economic plants including corn, cassava, sugarcane, rubber, oil palm and fruits.
