ABOUT PESTICIDES
Written by MCPA Administrator
Tuesday, 10 August 2004 06:30
Pesticide products are evaluated by an independent body analyzing its risks and benefits
biological efficacy
suitability for local market needs
use recommendations
limitation of risks to human health and the environment
legality of use, which is proven with a registration or a refusal of the registration
Registration, in other words, is an independent benefit/risk analysis for the farmer and for the consumer.
Only pesticides registered by the Pesticides Board can be sold and marketed legally in Malaysia.
"All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous."
