The regulation prohibits the sell or offer to sell and/or use of a pesticide with an active ingredient that belongs to either the Neonicotinoid family (as defined in Chapter 1) or is listed in Annex 1. All classes of pesticides are covered and if a pesticide has more than one active ingredient, each individual active ingredient must be authorized for use or sell/offer for sell (i.e. - the ban applies to each active ingredient within a pesticide. If a pesticide has multiple active ingredients and even one is prohibited, the pesticide itself is banned).??

The regulation, divided into five chapters, covers definitions, prohibitions, use(s), exceptions (which are very limited), conditions of storage and use as well as administrative aspects, inspections and penalties and/or fees.?

? Bio-pesticide - a pesticide that is from a natural source (i.e. - bacteria, fungi, virus, plant(s), animal(s), mineral(s), etc.) and meets the definition/criteria of such under Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

The majority of registrations processedthrough WERCSmart are formulated products.?Unfortunately, since the 3rd party formula option was the first listedunder registration options, many customers were submitting registration datathat wasn’t actually a product.

通過(guò)WERCSmart的大多數(shù)注冊(cè)都是按配方制造的產(chǎn)品。遺憾的是，自從第三方配方選項(xiàng)成為注冊(cè)選項(xiàng)中首選，許多客戶提交的注冊(cè)信息實(shí)際上都不是真正的產(chǎn)品。

?

With this release, the Formulated Productoption will be moved to the top of the listing, ensuring that the majority ofregistrations are set up properly from the start.

在此次發(fā)布中，按配方制造的產(chǎn)品選項(xiàng)將被移至列表的頂部，以確保大多數(shù)的注冊(cè)從一開始就被正確的設(shè)置。
