FAO Specifications and Evaluations for Agricultural Pesticides - BENTAZONE

FAO establishes and publishes specifications* for technical material and related formulations of agricultural pesticides, with the objective that these specifications may be used to provide an international point of reference against which products can be judged either for regulatory purposes or in commercial dealings. From 1999 onward, the development of FAO specifications follows the New Procedure, described first in the 5th edition of the "Manual on the development and use of FAO specifications for plant protection products" and later in the 1st edition of “Manual for Development and Use of FAO and WHO Specifications for Pesticides” (2002) - currently available as 3rd revision of the 1st edition (2016), which is available only on the internet through the FAO and WHO web sites.
