Summary

Newspaper article by Brendan Nicholson.

A small outbreak of apple scab fungus in Western Australia, previously eradicated, prompted the suggestion of reintroducing a previously banned chemical, phenyl mercuric chloride. The push back against using mercury-based agriculture chemicals is largely grounded in the toxicity of the chemicals and their propensity to accumulate down the food chain.
