Pesticide Rules Approved: EPA to Regulate Applicators
In Austin a November 20 hearing on pesticide control approved state provisions aligning with federal rules. Agriculture Commissioner John Whage said the EPA has not approved the state plan, while the law requires all commercial applicators to be identified and exempts farmers. The federal standard mandates certification for all supervisors of restricted use pesticides.
