Chemical Regulations
Developing and implementing the best use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers is important as we look to the future of agricultural producers across the globe. All ingredients in fertilizer should be labeled and free of hazardous waste.
Farmers, chemical companies and governmental agencies should cooperate to reduce pollution hazards until biological controls or other effective alternatives to pesticides become available.
