Farmers would get clearer rules for using products that boost plant growth and soil health.
Currently, products that help plants grow, called plant biostimulants, have unclear rules and can be confused with pesticides. This bill would create clear definitions for these products, separating them from pesticides and plant regulators. This would help farmers and manufacturers understand how to use and sell these products more easily. The government would also study their benefits for soil.
Currently, federal law does not clearly define plant biostimulants, leading to confusion as they can be regulated as pesticides or plant regulators. This bill would create specific definitions for plant biostimulants and related products, ensuring they are not regulated as pesticides or plant regulators. The EPA would update its rules within 120 days, and the USDA would study how these products help soil health, with a report due within two years of receiving study funds.
