BILL NUMBER:S2887A

Purpose

This bill seeks to allow for commercial pesticide applicators in a dosage, concentration or frequency less than that specified on the labeling.

Summary of provisions

Section 33-0725 of the Environmental Conservation Law that allows for less than label use of agricultural pesticides is amended to add commercial applicators.

Section 2 - immediate effective date.

Justification

Currently, pesticides registered for use in New York State may be used for agricultural purposes in a dosage, concentration or frequency less than that specified on the labeling, but commercial pesticide applicators may not. By allowing commercial applicators to apply less than label rates, the total amount of pesticides being applied in New York State will be decreased, providing economic and environmental benefits to the people of the state.

Improvements in application technology have resulted in advances to efficacy, deposition, drift reduction and improved targeting of pesticides. The use of air induction nozzles, pre-orifice flat fan nozzles, controlled droplet applicators, shield or hooded sprayers, and chemical injection applicators all lead to more effective action from pesticides. These tools provide the professional applicator with the means to reduce application rates in certain situations.
