| Abstract/Contents: | Risk/benefit anaylses, used by the U.S. Envirornmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the special review process, are central to decisions regarding continued use or cancellation of certain or all uses of pesticides under review. Because the benefit of a pesticide is, in part, a function of available alternatives to its use, information should be collected on the whole spectrum of plant protection chemicals for each crop-pest combination. A method of analyzing the prospective monetary and agronomic impact of losing selected crop protection chemicals indicated that the removal of carbofuran alone from the market would not have adverse effects on peanut production in North Carolina, as the use of available alternatives would result in small net gains in yield and revenue. However, carbofuran became much more beneficial when alternative nematicides were deleted first. We concluded that the EPA must be visionary when selecting pesticides for special review because the benefit/risk ratio increases as alternatives are eliminated. |
