Supreme Court rules to uphold federal pesticide labels and FIFRA authority - Brownfield Ag News
The Supreme Court upheld federal pesticide labels and FIFRA authority, reinforcing EPA's exclusive power over pesticide labeling and preempting state-level label requirements. This maintains the current regulatory framework for pesticide applicators.
