  • Pesticide Laws and Regulations
    Kentucky Pesticide Education Program copyright © 2016 University of Kentucky Department of Entomology Pesticide Laws and Regulations Federal Laws and Regulations Pesticides provide important benefits when used correctly. However, they can cause serious harm if used improperly. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is the most important law regulating the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides in the US. It gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the authority to oversee the sale and use of pesticides. Commercial applicators can be fined as much as $5,000 for FIFRA violations. Criminal penalties can be as much as $25,000 and/or 1 year in prison. In addition, Kentucky can enact legal requirements that may be more restrictive than federal law. FIFRA also gives EPA the authority to: Impose civil and/or criminal penalties on anyone who misuses a pesticide or commits any other listed unlawful acts. Fines can be up to $1,000 for each offense. However, you have the right to ask for a hearing in your own city or county. Stop the sale or use of any pesticide. Issue removal orders and seize products to keep them out of the market if it determines the products pose an unreasonable risk. Reevaluate older pesticides to ensure that they meet more recent safety standards. Protect agricultural workers and pesticide handlers from occupational pesticide exposure. Exceptions to FIFRA Unless the label specifically prohibits it, you can apply a pesticide To control a pest that is not on the label as long as the specific crop or site is listed By any method that is not prohibited.

    United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service WS Directive 2.401 12/08/2009 PESTICIDE USE I. PURPOSE This directive will provide for the safe and effective storage, disposal, recordkeeping, and use of pesticides. It is also intended to mitigate releases of pesticides due to fire and non-fire events. This directive does not apply to sanitizers and disinfectants. 2. REPLACEMENT HIGHLIGHTS This directive revises WS Directive 2.401 dated 10/\9/09. ·3. POLICY Wildlife Services (WS) activities will be in compliance with applicable Federal, State, Tribal, and local laws and regulations pertaining to pesticides, including application, certification, storage, transportation, shipment, disposal, and supervision, or when recommending the use of restricted-use pesticides. Restricted use pesticides used or recommended by WS personnel must be registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the appropriate State regulatory agency. WS personnel are responsible for all aspects of control operations involving WS restricted-use pesticides having label language that specifies ''for use only by USDA personneL or persons under their direct supervision." Furthermore, pesticides displaying restriction-specific labels, and all derived chemical products, will not be transferred or otherwise released to non-authorized personnel per label restrictions. This restriction does not preclude or limit reimbursement to WS for any cost of materials or services provided involving these pesticides. Pesticide use, storage, and disposal will conform to label instructions and other applicable regulations and laws. Before using any pesticide, WS personnel will be trained in its proper and safe use. For field applications, where other decontamination equipment of sufficient quantity and type is not readily available; WS personnel must carry a decontamination kit containing at least one quart of water, coveralls, disposable towels, and soap.

ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.) was originally domesticated in sub-Saharan Africa but is now cultivated on every continent except Antarctica. Utilizing archaeological, textual, and genetic resources, the spread of cultivated cowpea has been reconstructed. Cowpea was domesticated in Africa, likely in both West and East Africa, before 2500 BCE and by 400 BCE was long established in all the modern major production regions of the Old World, including sub-Saharan Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, India, and Southeast Asia.

  • Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Practice 1.0 Purpose / Background
    Program #: EMP-7.1 Environmental Management Program Revision # 1.0 Implementation Date 05/01/09 Page #: 1 of 4 Author: K. Trimberger Approval: W. Brewer Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Practice 1.0 Purpose / Background Congress enacted the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) of 1947 that, broadened the federal government's control of pesticides. FIFRA required the Department of Agriculture to register all pesticides prior to their introduction in interstate commerce. An amendment to FIFRA in 1964 authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to refuse registration to pesticides that were unsafe or ineffective and to remove them from the market. In 1970, Congress transferred the administration of FIFRA to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This was the initiation of a shift in the focus of federal policy from the control of pesticides for reasonably safe use in agricultural production to control of pesticides for reduction of unreasonable risks to man and the environment. Important FIFRA requirements are as follows: No one may sell, distribute, or use a pesticide unless it is registered by the EPA or meets a specific exemption as described in the regulations. Registration includes approval by the EPA of the pesticide's label, which must give detailed instructions for its safe use. EPA must classify each pesticide as either "general use," "restricted use," or both. "General use" pesticides may be applied by anyone, but "restricted use" pesticides may only be applied by certified applicators or persons working under the direct supervision of a certified applicator. Because there are only limited data for new chemicals, most pesticides are initially classified as restricted use.
