They asked us for consultation and for support in order to avoid similar high residue levels on the current 1988 crop. They claim similar findings were found at another major German manufacturer. Following is a detailed listing of their findings of increasing amounts of MH-30 on 1987 and previous crops. 2. Would appreciate FAS/W guidance on this matter and any U.S.-based information we can share with our contacts. Sincerely, Dietmar Achilles Agricultural Specialist
