Future strategies focused on fungicides and rodenticides are also expected, continuing the agency’s phased approach. These strategies will follow similar review processes and aim to offer balanced solutions.
The EPA's goal is to maintain access to pesticides for farmers and ranchers while also ensuring responsible environmental stewardship. As changes roll out, the agency will integrate them gradually into its existing pesticide review process.
Farmers are advised to monitor new developments, as they may need to adjust application practices over time. The plan is not final yet and will be updated based on public input.
By protecting wildlife and supporting agriculture, the EPA hopes this strategy will promote a more sustainable and informed approach to pesticide use across the United States.
