Action Plan on Urban Use Pesticides
Healthy Lawns Strategy
Registration of New Reduced Risk Products Expanding on PMRA/EPA Joint Review process
Product re-evaluation Priority re-evaluation of most common active
ingredients used in lawn and turf care
![Page 6: Karen Ryan Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment Lynn Skillings Pest Management Regulatory Agency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d2a5503460f949ff65c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Healthy Lawns Strategy
To reduce reliance on pesticide use for lawn care through: The application of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
principles Emphasis on pest prevention Application of pesticides only when necessary

Product Types Available to Homeowners
Assess product types for compatibility with IPM principles and approaches
Sub-committee recommendations
Currently working to implement recommendations
![Page 13: Karen Ryan Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment Lynn Skillings Pest Management Regulatory Agency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d2a5503460f949ff65c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fungicide/Insecticide Formulation Recommendations:
Insect/plant pathogen linkages must be demonstrated
Convenience of use should not be a strong enough argument for this formulation type
![Page 14: Karen Ryan Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment Lynn Skillings Pest Management Regulatory Agency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d2a5503460f949ff65c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Fertilizer/Herbicide and Broadcast Product Recommendations
Improve: Labelling and container size Mass advertising to consumer Product point of sale in stores
Educate consumers: IPM principles Differences between preventative versus curative measures Proper use of broadcast application
Ensure: Appropriate sizes for ready to use products Mixing devices give appropriate mixing of concentrate
![Page 15: Karen Ryan Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment Lynn Skillings Pest Management Regulatory Agency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d2a5503460f949ff65c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Product Labelling
Easier for homeowners To better use labels for informed purchasing To find, understand and follow label information Understand and avoid health & environmental risks
![Page 16: Karen Ryan Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment Lynn Skillings Pest Management Regulatory Agency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d2a5503460f949ff65c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Product LabellingLabelling subcommittee
Recommendations Mandatory child resistant containers How to read a label poster/pamphlet Review and simplification of label text Mandatory measuring device/system for concentrates Consumer Labelling Initiative – best practices Minimum font size
![Page 17: Karen Ryan Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment Lynn Skillings Pest Management Regulatory Agency](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d2a5503460f949ff65c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Harmonized Classification SystemMore consistent regulatory approach to the
management of domestic/commercial pesticide products
Establish a second tier of classification for more controlled use by the consumer
Could require sale at licensed vendor outlets with certified, trained staff
