To help facilitate the registration of low-risk alternative pesticides, EPA is announcing a workshop to provide participants with a better understanding of the biopesticide registration process in the United States, Canada and the state of California. The workshop will be held in Arlington, Va., on Nov. 13-15. The co-hosts will be EPA, Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, California’s Department of Pesticide Regulation and the Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4), an organization that helps develop pest-management solutions for low-acreage crops. The workshop will guide participants through the process of registering biopesticides, including microbials, pheromones, biochemicals and genetically-engineered plant-incorporated protectants. Topics will include the biopesticide registration submission process, good laboratory practice requirements, scientific assessments and maintenance of existing registrations. Anyone currently involved in development, manufacturing and sales of biopesticides is especially encouraged to attend. The workshop will be held at the Marriott Crystal Gateway in Arlington, Va. For additional information, contact Cheryl Ferrazoli at IR-4 Headquarters at 732-932-9575, ext. 601.
