Pesticide Regulatory Support

Pesticides are regulated globally and often require pre-market approval prior to sale and distribution. This process can be challenging with costly time-to-market delays, as safety, product chemistry, and efficacy must be supported with data.

In Canada, pesticides are regulated by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). In the United States, they are regulated federally by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as at the state level.
