Pesticide Regulation | Vibepedia

Pesticide regulation governs the registration, use, and safety of chemicals designed to combat pests, weeds, and plant diseases. Primarily managed by the **EPA** under **FIFRA** and **FFDCA** in the US, it ensures pesticides meet rigorous toxicity, efficacy, and residue standards. This framework evolved from early consumer protection to comprehensive environmental and health safeguards amid growing concerns like those highlighted in **Science** debates.
