Pesticides | US EPA
EPA announced a roundtable on paraquat, a restricted-use pesticide, to discuss potential regulatory changes. This could lead to stricter controls or label changes affecting applicators who use paraquat.
Aforeworn detected this change in the Pesticide & Pest-Control Applicators space on July 6, 2026 and published this briefing so affected operators are forewarned rather than caught off guard.
