I was really hoping that this was going to be a thing of the past but have had emails from a few people who suspect that they are new or repeat victims.

It's important to bear in mind that problems may be caused by things other than herbicide contamination but if you suspect - check with the photos here) that you have used contaminated manure then you should:

1. Keep a sample of the suspected manure - this may mean taking some from the ground
2. Contact your supplier and ask them the questions here
3. Contact the CRD pesticides@hse.gsi.gov.uk and DOW UKHotline@dow.com  to inform them of your suspicions preferably including photographs
4. Follow the advice here
5. You may wish to carry out a soil test see here
6. Please email details to me with any photographs so I can add your experiences to this page
7. If you have manure that you can't get rid of contact DOW to request they arrange removal. Click here for information
