§ 12562 Pesticide Tolerance Exemption

• •The director can waive the tolerance requirement for any pesticide.
• •He can only do this if he believes the pesticide can be used safely.
• •When waived, there is no set limit on pesticide residue for that chemical.

A farmer wants to spray a new pesticide on his corn and worries about how much residue can stay on the corn.

If the director decides the pesticide is safe enough, he can say no residue limit is needed, so the farmer can use it without worrying about a tolerance level.
