Crop Protection Product Issues
Overview: NAAA is working hard to ensure that crop protection products remain available for aerial use and that professional aerial applicators have the flexibility they need to effectively do their job in protecting agriculture, forestry and public health. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the federal agency responsible for registering crop protection products and determining how they may be used. As EPA works to make these determinations it is required to conclude each product’s health and safety effects, including a product’s effect on endangered species, water, drift and occupational exposure. The main pesticide issues pertaining to the aerial application industry are as follows:
(Re)registration of Crop Protection Products
The Endangered Species Act’s Effect on Aerial Application
Federal Policy Assisting Farmers to the Detriment of Farm Service Providers
Occupational Exposure of Pesticides and Aerial Application
Aerial Application Research Funding
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC)
EPA Final Pesticide Container and Containment Regulations
Recycling of Pesticide Containers
