<p>Bracken control is important to protect grazing land and sensitive habitats. Physical
methods, for example crushing, are often used but are impractical or less effective
in some situations. The Health and Safety Executive has granted an emergency authorisation
for the limited and controlled use of Asulox to control bracken between 1 July and
12 September. This decision was taken in accordance with the requirements set out
in pesticide legislation and took account of an assessment of potential risks to human
health and the environment.</p>
