Pesticides used in agriculture have long been the subject of controversy and misinformation – and the attention of regulators. Since before America’s first neonicotinoid (“neonic”) insecticide was registered in 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been continually assessing the risks of this vital class of pesticide on plants, humans, animals, and the environment. EPA’s science-based risk assessments are the basis for their reputation in agriculture as one of the safest and most environmentally friendly agrochemicals in use today.
