[apple-crop] Chemical regulations

[Jourdain Jean-Marc]

Hello all
I have been told that in Canada in case you want to purchase a phytosanitary 
compound, you need to give the retailer a paper like a prescription.
Is it right, does someone can describe me  and the list, the situation...
Our growers are tempted to go this way thinking to share responsibilities with 
administration...

Best regards

Hi Jean Marc,

In Ontario, you need to have a Grower Pesticide Safety Certificate to
purchase pesticides registered for commercial use.  However, the choice
of pesticide products is up to the grower, who is, of course, restricted
by the label as to what can be used on the crop. No prescriptions yet
that I am aware of.
