Abstract

The draft Insecticide Strategy (IS) describes the analyses conducted to estimate exposure and assess 1) the potential impacts, both directly and indirectly, of an insecticide to listed species groups and 2) the extent of mitigations needed to reduce population-level impacts on the listed species groups. The draft IS is informed by a mitigation support document that includes various measures in a menu to reduce exposure to listed species from spray drift, runoff, and erosion. These mitigation measures apply to conventional agricultural pesticides covered by both the draft IS and Herbicide Strategy. Finally, the draft IS provides information on identifying the geographic extent of mitigation and describes the implementation plan for the Strategy.
