Pesticide Use Clause Examples
The Pesticide Use clause sets out the rules and requirements for the application, handling, and management of pesticides within the scope of the agreement. It typically specifies which pesticides may be used, mandates compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and may require record-keeping or notification before application. This clause ensures that pesticide use is controlled and safe, protecting human health, property, and the environment while minimizing legal and operational risks for all parties involved.
Pesticide Use. The following conditions are met for all pesticides and herbicides used on plants:
i. Pesticide and herbicide use is minimized by creating a use plan based on Chapter 3 of the San Francisco Environment Code Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.
ii. Only pesticides with a hazard tier ranking of 3 (least hazardous) as per The City of San Francisco Department of the Environments (SFE) Reduced-Risk Pesticide List are used. Refer to Table A2 in Appendix C of the WELL Building Standard for more details.
Pesticide Use. Only licensed commercially available pesticides must be used on the Allotment Garden in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and for their intended purpose. You must not wash out any containers that have been filled with pesticide in the communal water points. Any pesticide residue must be washed out on your plot or at your home. You must ensure the use of pesticide is confined to your plot and does not drift on to other plots, vegetation or footpaths as this will cause damage to or nuisance (Clause 10) to those who garden organically.
Pesticide Use. Upon request by County department, Contractor shall provide a list of the pesticide and fertilizer type(s), quantities used, and other pertinent application details. All use of chemicals on County’s property shall comply with the most current County’s IPM Policy provided by County department and approved by the County department IPM Coordinator.

Pesticide Use. Pesticide use at St. Mary’s is not normal practice. However, we are required to notify staff, parents and guardians that if ever there were a need for pesticide use, we would give you 48 hours advance written notification. We would notify you via the contact information we have on file. Any other parties may request to be notified as well by contacting the main office and giving their contact information.
Pesticide Use. Anyone applying general-use and restricted-use pesticide on partner land under this agreement must comply with Illinois Pesticide Act.
1. Employees and volunteers of each of the Parties must be certified by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDAG) as a licensed Applicator or Operator to apply pesticide on partner owned land provided the activities are coordinated through the land owner.
2. Volunteers and some paid interns may apply non-restricted pesticides without a license provided each volunteer undertaking the application has completed pesticide training per IL Section 250.220 and is certified by the land-owning agency.
3. All volunteers and employees of the Parties that are applying aquatic pesticides must be an IDAG-Certified Applicator, Aquatic category.
4. Volunteers and employees of the Parties that are directly supervising or teaching other inexperienced volunteers must have a relevant IDAG pesticide applicator’s certification, be authorized to do such training by the land holding agency and ensure proper safety procedures are taking place by anyone applying pesticides.
Pesticide Use i. Pesticides are poisonous. Always read pesticide label to determine active ingredients and signal words. Carefully follow all precautions and safety recommendations given on the container label.
ii. Store all chemicals in the original labeled containers in a locked cabinet or shed away from food or feeds and out of the reach of children, unauthorized persons, pets and livestock.
iii. Pesticides can move and contaminate creeks, lakes, and rivers. Confine chemicals to the property being treated and never allow them to get into drains or creeks. Avoid drift onto non-target properties.
Pesticide Use. Season length affected the use of insecticides and other pesticides. Practices varied among the fields and growers, and differed by year at the UC DREC site. But in all cases, pesticide application was largest during the fall cropping season. These data are reported in Tables Growers and their PCAs reported low insect pressure in spring 2021 when their fields were harvested in May and June. In spring 2022 (year 2), beets were harvested by the end of April before any insect pressure could be expected to occur in most years.

Pesticide Use. Pesticides are a possible contributor to Wyoming toad declines. For example, Malathion has been shown to cause negative impacts to amphibians including immunosuppression to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ toad (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et. al 1999). Malathion and other pesticides may additionally reduce the Toad’s prey base. As such, application of such pesticides should be limited on suitable reintroduction sites. Should pesticides be considered to control mosquitos, the larvicide BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis var. isrealensis) has been effective at controlling mosquitos with no known side effects to non-target species, including amphibians. It has been used successfully throughout the State of Wyoming and at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lake where the largest population of Toads currently exists. If measurement is desired, pesticide strips could be placed on the property prior to spraying. Application should be limited to spot spraying using a backpack type sprayer or spraying equipment mounted to an all-terrain vehicle.
Pesticide Use. The Enrolled Property spot applies Roundup for periodic herbicide use, only in ditches and bases of ditches; average use is about 0.75 gallon per acres of ditch. Most of the ditches will be replaced with buried pipeline (see Section E.2.a) as a result of this Agreement and Roundup use will be eliminated. The Enrolled Property does periodically apply fertilizer. The mix that is currently applied varies based upon analysis of soil/grass needs but is typically a nitrogen based time release fertilizer. Generally, once per year at 300 pounds per acre of 16 (nitrogen): 20 (phosphorus) pellet application, in addition to harrowing in manure. Fertilizer is not applied within the riparian area of the Enrolled Property.
Pesticide Use. Pesticides may not be used outside of buildings to control undesirable woody and herbaceous vegetation (including aquatic plants), insects, rodents, fish, and other pests and weeds without prior written approval from the authorized officer. A request for approval of planned uses of pesticides shall be submitted annually by the holder on the due date established by the authorized officer. The report shall cover a 12-month period of planned use beginning 3 months after the reporting date. Information essential for review shall be provided in the form specified. Exceptions to this schedule may be allowed, subject to emergency request and approval, only when unexpected outbreaks of pests or weeds require control measures that were not anticipated at the time an annual report was submitted. Only those materials registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the specific purpose planned shall be considered for use on National Forest System lands. Label instructions and all applicable laws and regulations shall be strictly followed in the application of pesticides and disposal of excess materials and containers.
