Label Guidance for Specific Types of Pesticides

We issue guidance on label contents as needed to clarify issues or implement program changes. This guidance may be specific to a particular type of pesticide, such as antimicrobials or even to a specific active ingredient or group of ingredients, such as the pyrethrins and pyrethroids. If you don't see information here or in the Label Review Manual, try searching or contact the ombudsman for the regulatory division that handles your product.
