| مستخلص: |
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has made changes to pesticide regulation in response to legal challenges and resource constraints. One significant change is the introduction of a menu of mitigation measures for pesticide applicators to choose from, aimed at reducing potential exposure of endangered species to pesticide runoff, erosion, and spray drift. These changes may have significant effects on farmers, who may need to adjust their operations and practices to comply with the new regulations. The cost and challenges of adopting and maintaining these mitigation measures depend on various factors, such as the type and number of measures and the crop production system. Further discussion is needed to address the differences in production systems across the U.S. and the limitations and trade-offs of adopting these measures. [Extracted from the article] |
