DPR Releases Updates to Statewide Pesticide Notification Webpage

May 15, 2023

The department recently added updates to its Statewide Pesticide Application Notification System webpage to share the UC Davis Center for Regional Change’s independent evaluation of the notification pilot projects. Four pilot projects were hosted by participating County Agricultural Commissioners last year to test elements of a notification system and to help inform the development, design and implementation of a statewide notification system.

The department also updated the website with a summary of public feedback collected at the November 2022 public notification workshops. Feedback received during these workshops continues to inform the development of the statewide system.
