§ 11411 Agricultural Use Recommendations

This law explains what counts as a 'recommendation' for using pesticides on farms. It says giving specific advice about how to use a pesticide on a certain piece of land is a recommendation, but general summaries are not.

Key Takeaways

  • •A 'recommendation' is when someone gives specific advice about using a pesticide on a particular piece of land.
  • •General summaries about pesticides are not recommendations if they don’t give specific instructions.
  • •The advice can’t conflict with the pesticide label or the rules set by the director.

Example

A farmer asks an expert how to get rid of bugs on their cornfield.

If the expert says 'Use Pesticide X on your cornfield to kill the bugs,' that’s a recommendation. But if the expert just gives a general list of pesticides without saying how to use them, that’s not a recommendation.

“Recommendation” means the giving of any instruction or advice on any agricultural use as to any particular application on any particular piece of property. “Recommendation” does not include any summary that does not specify the use to be made for any designated pest, provided that such summary is not in conflict with any registered pesticide label or with the supplementary printed direction delivered therewith or with any rule or regulation of the director. (Amended by Stats. 1978, Ch. 1050.)
