Restricted Use Pesticides

Restricted Use Pesticides

Restricted Use Pesticides

Restricted Use Pesticides¹
Frederick M. Fishel²
Restricted use pesticides (RUP) are for retail sale to, and use by, only certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision and only for those purposes covered by the applicator's certification. When a pesticide is classified as restricted, the label will state "Restricted Use Pesticide" at the top of the front panel. Below this heading may be a statement describing the reason for the restricted classification ( Figure 1 ). There are various reasons which are determined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) why a particular pesticide is classified as restricted. These criteria involve the EPAs determination that the pesticide may be hazardous to human health or to the environment even when used according to the label.

Figure 1. Examples of criteria for restricted use classification as seen on labels.

Some states, including Florida, adhere to the EPAs Federal listing for determining those pesticide active ingredients that are classified as "restricted." Other states may require that certain other active ingredients not listed on the Federal list be classified as "restricted" in their states due to local conditions, generally related to environmental concerns. Although some restricted use active ingredients may be federally registered, they may not have a Florida registration.
Reasons for RUP classification that are given in this guide may include terminology such as:
Fetotoxicity - adverse effects on the fetus;
Mutagenicity - causes genetic changes in the organism which may or may not be passed on to its next generation;
Oncogenicity - causes tumors, but not necessarily malignant, and
Teratogenicity - causes birth defects.
The pesticide's label is the last word on use, regardless of its classification as a general use or a restricted use pesticide.
This guide provides a listing of common names of pesticides determined to be classified as restricted use by the EPA and registered for use in Florida (Table 1). With each entry, formulations that are regarded as restricted, their uses and the reason(s), if given, for their restricted classification are is cited. Common names of pesticides that have had their registrations cancelled or those whose restricted status is no longer in effect are shown in Table 2. Be aware that the listing is slightly modified, generally on an annual basis. For updated listings of Federal restricted use pesticides, see: http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/rup/ .
