What steps will be taken to protect people and the environment in the rush to spray soybean fields with pesticides?
Close monitoring of environmental conditions (temperature and moisture) and the presence of P. pachyrhizi will provide the information needed to make informed decisions about treatment. These forecasting models are being developed, as well as communication plans, so that timely treatments can be made and unneeded sprays prevented. The safety and biological impact of every fungicide that will be available as a labeled product or on a Section 18 exemption is one criterion in its acceptance by the EPA.
