Ban On Calif. Pesticide Spraying Lifted
By JULIANA BARBASSA, Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCO - The spraying of a pesticide to fight a crop-eating moth can resume after a judge said Friday he was satisfied with a government plan to address environmental and health concerns.
Earlier this month, Judge Robert O'Farrell issued a temporary injunction against the spraying on California's central coast amid concerns over the long-term health effects of CheckMate, which was first dropped in the area last month.
CheckMate is a pheromone spray developed specifically to keep the moth from mating without killing it.
