The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of Paecilomyces

fumosoroseus Apopka Strain 97 and

canola oil, and information on social,

economic, and environmental benefits

to be derived from use. Specifically, the

Agency has considered the nature of the

microbial or biochemical pesticide and

its pattern of use, application methods

and rates, and level and extent of

potential exposure. Based on these

reviews, the Agency was able to make

basic health safety determinations

which show that use of Paecilomyces

fumosoroseus Apopka Strain 97 and

canola oil when used in accordance

with widespread and commonly

recognized practice, will not generally

cause unreasonable adverse effects to

the environment.

More detailed information on these

registrations is contained in an EPA

Pesticide Fact Sheet on Paecilomyces

fumosoroseus Apopka Strain 97 and

canola oil.

A copy of these fact sheets, which
