Items Tagged with 'pesticide tolerances'

Less than 1% of tested fruits and vegetables tested in 2020 had pesticide residues above EPA-established tolerances, and 30% had no detectable residue, USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service said in its latest annual data report.

EPA is proposing the latest revisions to its crop grouping regulations for the purposes of setting pesticide tolerances, a move that the agency says will benefit producers of minor crops and pesticide companies through lower registration costs.
