Colorado Updates Pesticide List For Cannabis Production
The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) has updated its list of pesticides that can be used on cannabis without being a violation of the Pesticide Applicators’ Act. Please note the following products have been added:
- BotaniGard 22WP
- BotaniGard ES
- BoteGHA ES
- Milstop SP
- Mycotrol ESO
- Mycotrol WPO
- Rupture
CDA is currently reviewing pesticide labels upon request and maintaining a list of products whose label it has reviewed and that the agency believes could be used on marijuana without violating 35-10-117(1)(i), as long as the applicator follows the label directions.
Please be sure to review the list; pesticide products may be removed from the allowed products list if the registrant has not renewed their pesticide product with the Department. Use of unregistered pesticides on cannabis would be a violation of the Pesticide Applicators’ Act.
