Which of the following is true of the registration system used to control pesticide use?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requires that all pesticides must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before they can be sold and used. The EPA evaluates the pesticide to ensure that it will not have unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment when used according to label directions. Therefore, a pesticide will be registered if its label complies with FIFRA. A pesticide with general use registration can be sold without any specific usage restrictions. Registration is not required every year, but the manufacturer must renew the registration periodically. The composition of the pesticide is also evaluated during the registration process to ensure it meets the claims made for it, so option C is incorrect.
