pesticide ban
Outlawed crop sprays
A pesticide ban is an official prohibition on the use, sale, or manufacture of certain chemical pest-control agents.
Bans typically target substances linked to environmental damage or health risks: The EU's pesticide ban on neonicotinoids aims to protect bee populations.
Such bans may be partial, restricting specific applications while allowing others.
