pesticide bans
Outlawed crop sprays
Pesticide bans are laws or regulations prohibiting the use of certain chemicals designed to kill insects, weeds, or other agricultural pests.
Bans typically target substances linked to environmental damage or health risks: The pesticide ban covers neonicotinoids blamed for bee die-offs.
Some jurisdictions impose broad bans on cosmetic pesticide use in lawns and gardens, while others restrict specific compounds in farming.
