ADAMA Australia has recalled some batches of its Tenet 500 SC Herbicide, following "adverse experiences."  

ADAMA Australia recently issued the voluntary product recall for specific batches of the herbicide, which is used as an alternative mode of action for pre-emergent and early post-emergent weed control in canola. 

"The recall is due to a quality issue identified in the affected batches, with levels of residual impurities detected above ADAMA's acceptable limits," it said in the statement. 

"These residual impurities may result in unacceptable levels of phytotoxicity when applied to canola. 

"The recall is issued to prevent further adverse experiences with the affected batches." 

The affected batches were sold in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria from 15 January to 10 June 2025. 

The impacted batches of 20 litre and 1000 litre pack sizes only are: 41962, 41963, 42073, 42084, 42098, 42113, 42141, 42293, 42313, 42337, 42344.

"If you have stock from the affected batches, please get in touch with your local ADAMA representative to arrange a return," ADAMA said.

"Customers who have already delivered the affected Tenet 500 SC should also contact their growers to return it to the place of purchase. 

"ADAMA will endeavour to provide replacement Tenet 500 SC from batches that meet our specifications."
