It is from the Pesticides Safety Directorate which is part of the HSE, and relates to an investigation into crop damage caused by manures tainted with a herbicide called aminopyralid. It can affect plants which are particularly sensitive to the substance, including potatoes and tomatoes, peas and beans, carrots and lettuce, and related crops.
