EPA is lifting its chlorpyrifos restrictions

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says they will soon be lifting food tolerance restrictions for chlorpyrifos and will issue a new rule to set guidelines for product use for all but 11 uses as identified by a federal court.

Daren Coppock with the Ag Retailers Association tells Brownfield “this will happen as soon as they get the court mandate, which hasn’t happened yet. The court has to formally issue their decision and communicate it to the agency.
