 Administration
 Exclusion, Nursery, & Standards
The exclusion of pests from an agricultural system is an important
component of any integrated pest management program. The Agricultural
Commissioner regulates the commercial movement of plants into
and out of Santa Barbara County.
 Pesticide Use Enforcement
Pesticides
help protect crops and provide relief from the ravages of insects,
diseases and weeds. Pesticides must be applied judiciously to
maintain a quality product, healthy environment and safe working
conditions. A permit or license may be required to use pesticides
in a commercial situation.
 Weights and Measures
The Weights and Measures Division strives to "level the
playing field" when weights and measures are involved in
commercial transactions. As a consumer, you should feel assured
that you're getting what you pay for with regard to a product's
weight, volume, count, duration or advertised price.
Commercial weighing and measuring devices, package content
statements and advertised prices are regularly inspected to ensure
their accuracy. Consumers may make complaints of inaccuracy or
fraud for investigation.
