Farmers would get clearer rules for products that help plants grow and improve soil health.
This bill would give farmers and companies clearer rules for products called "plant biostimulants" and "nutritional chemicals." It would define these products and make sure they are not mistakenly treated like pesticides, which could make them easier to use and sell. The bill also asks the Department of Agriculture to study how these products can best help soil and the environment.
Today, federal law does not clearly define "plant biostimulants," which can lead to them being regulated like pesticides. After this bill, these products would have clear legal definitions and would be specifically excluded from being called "pesticides" or "plant regulators." The EPA would also be required to update its rules, and the USDA would study how these products benefit soil health.
