Echo Power Equipment has a new system that makes it easier to start
small gas motors. The GT-2000EZR trimmer is the first model to include
the innovation.
The starting system has reduced the force required to pull the starter

The trimmer also has a special line loader that allows the user to

The trimmer weighs less than 4.5 kilograms and is powered by Echo’s
21.2 cc two-cycle engine.

Fungicide emergency use
The foliar fungicide Quadris from Syngenta has received an emergency
use registration for control of ascochyta blight in chickpeas in
Alberta.
Alberta Agriculture asked the Pest Management Regulatory Agency to
grant the emergency use registration.
“It’s hard to predict what the severity of ascochyta will be this year,
but the emergency use registration will ensure Quadris is available to
Alberta chickpea growers should they need it,” said Shaffeek Ali,
leader of the provincial department’s pest risk management unit.
Quadris received emergency registration in Saskatchewan in May.
