Adhering to state and federal regulations, all pesticide products must be registered before they can be distributed or sold within the state. Here's a comprehensive overview of the key requirements:

EPA Compliance Prior to Oklahoma State Registration

Before registering a pesticide product in Oklahoma, it must first be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This ensures that the product has been thoroughly reviewed for safety and effectiveness.

In Oklahoma, all pesticides, including general-use and restricted-use products, must be registered with the ODAFF. This applies to all pesticide formulations, including those intended for agricultural, commercial, or residential use.

Required Documentation for Registration

Application Form

The registration application is available on the ODAFF website. It must be completed with accurate details about the product, including its intended use and any federal registration numbers.
