Common reasons include that there are: documented incidents of
misuse, damage,
injury or death; sensitive crops or vulnerable watersheds; or threatened
or endangered
species.
In some cases, it may be difficult for pesticide users to control what
happens to treated
crops or materials containing treated crops. For example, sometimes
vegetation is
treated with a long residual herbicide, such as clopyralid. If the
vegetation becomes
a component of commercial compost, the compost may cause harm or
damage the
property of others. It may be necessary to enact a rule to prevent the
application.
In other cases, ODA has evidence that a pesticide or class of pesticides
may pose
an unacceptable hazard to a beneficial insect. For example, to protect
bees, ODA

prohibited the use of four neonicotinoid insecticides for use on linden
trees.
Explain why it is important to understand special regulations for crops
grown for
seed. - ANSWERS-Prior to allowing a pesticide to be used on a food or
feed crop, EPA must establish a
pesticide residue tolerance. A tolerance is established prior to the crop
being added to
a pesticide label.
EPA may allow the use of pesticide on a crop grown for seed (seed to be
planted) if
there are specific label restrictions which can be additionally enforced
by state rule. If
the state grants a pesticide registration on a crop grown for seed in which
there is no
tolerance, the label will prohibit the feeding of seed and by-products.
