Can a state restricted pesticide be classified as general use by the EPA?

Yes, but it will still bear a restricted use statement
No, it contradicts federal regulations
Yes, and it will not bear a restricted use statement
No, state classifications always override EPA classifications

The correct answer is: Yes, and it will not bear a restricted use statement

A state restricted pesticide can be classified as general use by the EPA. However, it is important to note that the pesticide will not bear a restricted use statement, as the EPA classification supersedes any state restrictions. This means that the pesticide can be used without special training or certification in states where it is classified as restricted, but it's still important to follow the general EPA regulations for use and handling. Options A and B are incorrect because they both make blanket statements that do not fully reflect the complexities of this situation. Option D is also incorrect because the EPA classification does have an impact on the use and labeling of pesticides, even if a state has its own restrictions.
