Anyway, I hope you're having a nice week! I was wondering if you would be able to provide me with a definition "minimum risk" pesticide as well as the EPA's list of minimum risk pesticides. Also, can "minimum risk" pesticides be used on food crops? Thank you in advance for your assistance. I really appreciate your help. Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions. Thanks, CHANGING Maryland for the Better Cassie Shirk Policy Advisor Office of the Governor 100 State Circle Annapolis, MD 21401 cassie. shirk@manTand.gov On Wed, Jul 5, 2017 at 12:32 PM, Bennett, Tate <Bennett.Tate@epa.gov> wrote: Team effort!

Please note that this list should not be used as a substitute for a pesticide user to consult the label for specific directions on how to use the product. Not all of these products will necessarily be available for use in the State of Maryland. EPA does not maintain information regarding which products are registered in which states. The state lead agency for pesticide regulation would be the best source for that information. Hope this helps.
