EPA Clarifies Fosetyl-Al Restricted-Entry Interval

The EPA has released a clarification document addressing the restricted-entry interval for fosetyl-Al, a fungicide used in agricultural settings. The document provides interpretive guidance on how existing REI requirements apply to workers and handlers working with treated crops.

Agricultural employers, farmers, and pesticide applicators should review this clarification to ensure compliance with worker protection standards when applying or handling fosetyl-Al treated crops. Any existing pesticide safety programs should be evaluated against this new EPA interpretation.
