Regulating resistance
Author
Housenger, Jack
Abstract
Extending the useful life of pesticides by delaying resistance without excessively burdening growers is a goal in the EPA’s regulatory strategy. This is being accomplished by requiring resistance management plans that incorporate scouting, reporting, cultural, and mechanical practices as key elements for EPA approvals of newly registered crops. For example, education and training for the early identification and reporting of resistant weeds is being combined with labeling requirements that include the mode of action and best management practices (BMPs) to slow the development of resistant weeds
