Pesticide Registration GLP 5 Batch Analysis is a fundamental step in the registration process, providing regulatory agencies with the essential data needed to assess the quality and consistency of pesticide formulations. ...
As a result, these species fall under Pesticide Use Limitation Areas (PULA), which have more stringent herbicide requirements. ...
At Pollen Systems, we are always excited to apply our PrecisionView approach to the crops we know and love. One fruit we keep returning to at work (and in our favorite recipes) is the beloved avocado. Adapted to rainforests by nature, avocados grow vigorously and will develop a dense canopy in a relatively short time. This growth habit is a challenge unique to cultivating avocados, as each tree ...
Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C®), is seeking a pesticide registration specialist to join our growing team of regulatory consultants, scientists, and policy experts. This position will be based in our Washington, D.C. office, although telework arrangements may be considered for the right candidate. Applicants should be experienced in all aspects of ...
“You need to strike a balance between cultural and technical control methods. “When it comes to the application of pesticides, responsible usage is key. We are continuously working with the local water authorities to ensure that best practice guidance is followed and exceedances minimised so the future of the products in our armoury for slug control ...
Herbicides, such as Monsanto’s weed killer glyphosate, make up the bulk of the pesticides applied worldwide. In the developing world, where swelling populations, increased urbanization and growing economies create a demand for ever-more food — produced quickly and inexpensively — pesticide application rates are rising. ...

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a notice in the Federal Register listing its revised registration service fees applicable to specified pesticide applications and tolerance actions for fiscal year (FY) 2016 that are registered under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The Pesticide ...
By way of background, in 2014, EPA issued a final rule on Data Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticides amending the regulations setting forth the data requirements that support an application to register a pesticide product. The final rule contains the data requirements specifically applicable to antimicrobial ...
Farmers spend approximately $4.1 billion on pesticides annually, according to published reports. “There are also environmental concerns to be aware of that can cause unintended problems such as spray drift or application of pesticides in certain areas that could cause chemicals going into waterways,” Ozkan said. ...

There are different types of machines used to fog areas with pesticides and other chemical formulations. But out of all, an Ultra Low Volume (ULV) or the ULV truck mounted fogger and truck mounted ULV aerosol generator are generally considered the best choice being used in the context of pesticide application. ...
Successful strategies included mating disruption and selective pesticide applications that greatly enhanced the effectiveness of beneficial organisms. ...
Because pesticides used in spray activities have the potential to cause toxicity to non‐target organisms in receiving waters, the current study was designed to determine if toxicity testing provides additional useful environmental risk information beyond chemical analysis in monitoring spray pesticide applications. ...
In Canada, when evaluating the risk of water contamination by pesticides, there are two main constraints. First, because the area of interest is large, a pesticide transport model with low computational running time is mandatory. ...
In this paper we present a series of MCnest simulations to demonstrate the extent to which the magnitude of change in annual reproductive success can be affected by considering life history attributes and the timing of pesticide applications relative to a species' typical breeding phenology. For a given pesticide‐use scenario, MCnest can ...
The EU‐Directive for sustainable use of pesticides requires implementation of risk mitigation measures at streams which are threatened by pesticide entries. ...
This study presents results at a local scale of the impact of pesticide aerial applications containing a mixture of endosulphan and cypermethrin on anurans assessed by means of field evaluations. ...
The following five treatments were applied under net room isolation-conditions: (i) insecticide application and release of alfalfa leafcutter bees (Megachile rotundata) during flowering; (ii) insecticide application in the absence of leafcutter bees; (iii) release of alfalfa leafcutter bees during flowering without insecticide application; (iv) ...
Are pesticides used efficiently in eggplant cultivation? Is Genetically Engineered (GE) eggplant a good alternative to pesticide use? ...
