Minimum Risk Pesticides
EPA MINIMUM RISK PESTICIDES: Exempt 25(b)
Are a special class of pesticides that are not subject to federal registration requirements because their ingredients, both active and inert, are demonstrably safe for the intended use.In 1996, EPA created a new class of products – minimum risk pesticides – that did not have to be registered. (These pesticides are often referred to as exempt 25(b) products.) The goal was to let pesticides that posed little or no risk become available to consumers without the manufacturers going through the expensive and time-consuming registration process. The EPA would also benefit by being able to focus resources on higher risk pesticides.
The ground rules for qualifying for minimum risk status are very specific, including restrictions on ingredients. All components of these products must come from lists of both active and inert ingredients that “are demonstrably safe for the intended use.” The active ingredients kill, destroy, mitigate, or repel the pests named on the label, while the inert ingredients help the product work better in other ways.
Organic Lawn Care Programs Preserve Bees
ORGANIC LAWNS ARE BEE-SAFE LAWNS!
Honey bees are continently exposed to numerous threats: pests and parasites (such as the Varroa mite or Nosema), bacterial diseases (foulbrood), fungal diseases (chalkbrood), viral diseases (invertebrate iridescent virus – IIV), and pesticides. Now honey bees are facing an even greater risk: Colony Collapse Disorder (or CCD).The impact honeybees have on the human population and the environment is far more crucial than we may think. Agricultural crops rely on honeybees worldwide to provide them with life and guarantee their reproduction. Bees facilitate pollination for most plant life, including well over 100 different vegetable and fruit crops. Without bees, there would be significantly less pollination, which would result in limited plant growth and lower food supplies. According to Dr. Albert Einstein, “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination…no more men”. Bees’ eradication affects us more than we may think.
One of the easiest ways to help rejuvenate the honeybee population is to respect honeybees by implementing an Organic Lawn Care Program that’s designed to be entirely safe for honeybees!
Organic is safe for you and your family and your pets, and more healthy for our environment.
Clove oil, corn gluten meal, citric acid and sodium lauryl sulfate (common in personal care products) are examples from the 31 possible active ingredients. There are many more inert ingredients eligible for use in minimum risk products. Examples include soybean oil or lecithin that can act as a surfactant by helping the pesticide stick to leaf surfaces. Water or an oil such as mineral oil can act as solutions in which active ingredients are dissolved.
