title = "Employing California pesticide use data for evaluating integrated pest management programs and informing pesticide policy and regulation",
abstract = "In California, all agricultural pesticide applications are reported to County Agricultural Commissioners for submission to the California Department of Pesticide Regulation. California defines agriculture broadly to include pastures, rangeland, parks, golf courses, and transportation rights-of-way. Homeowner, structural and industrial uses of pesticides generally are not reported. California Pesticide Use Report data can be freely accessed through the California Pesticide Information Portal and used to evaluate integrated pest management (IPM) and inform pesticide policy. California Pesticide Use Report data have been used to document the adoption of new pest management technology, adoption of integrated pest management strategies to reduce specific pesticide risks, and changes in pesticide use behavior motivated by continuing education programs aimed at improved pest management. The data have also been used to provide regulators, such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency, with actual pesticide-use data to replace default assumptions in risk assessment evaluations.",

note = "Funding Information: The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 amended the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act to include registration review. This review is intended to enhance stakeholder input during the EPA pesticide registration process. Stakeholders have opportunity to provide input at three critical points in the registration review process. Comments are solicited at the initial docket opening, in response to the preliminary risk assessments and in response to the proposed registration decision, which can include recommended label changes or cancelation of specific uses (). Many entities provide comments to EPA. Among them are the Western Integrated Pest Management Center which takes the opportunity to comment primarily during the risk assessment and proposed decision phases. The Western Integrated Pest Management Center is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture{\textquoteright}s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. Part of the Western Integrated Pest Management Center{\textquoteright}s responsibility is to respond to EPA information requests, whether they are general information requests posted in the Federal Register or requests directly sent to the Western Integrated Pest Management Center.
