Effective Pesticides for Emerald Ash Borer Control on Olives - Regulatory Guidelines
EPA and ODA co-regulate pesticides under FIFRA and Oregon Pesticide Control Act. FIFRA Section 2(ee) allows products to target pests not listed on the label under certain conditions. Food uses require tolerance establishment. Potential options like FIFRA Sec. 24(c) address special local needs for non-bearing olives. The importance of following label instructions and restrictions is emphasized.

EPA & ODA Co-regulate Pesticides Both EPA & ODA regulate pesticides EPA: Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) ODA: Oregon Pesticide Control Act The label is the law! DIRECTIONS FOR USE: It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
FIFRA Section 2(ee) Under FIFRA Sec 2(ee), as long as: The site is on the label, and You can follow all other label directions, restrictions, and precautions You may apply a product: To target a pest not listed on the label By an application method not prohibited by the label*** ***Does NOT apply to aerial application & chemigation. COULD apply to soil drench ***Site must be on the label, no exceptions***
Food Uses & Tolerance Requirements Before a pesticide may be used on a crop grown for food or feed, there must be: a tolerance established for that crop or- a tolerance established for the crop group which contains that crop or- an exemption from tolerance requirements Tolerance = maximum residue limit Ornamental olives will likely have more control options than olives grown for food
Potential Option: FIFRA Sec 24(c) for Non-bearing Olives FIFRA Sec 24(c): ODA can register an additional use of a federally registered product when there is a special local need: existing or imminent pest problem within a State for which the State lead agency, based upon satisfactory supporting information, has determined that an appropriate federally registered pesticide product is not sufficiently available (40 CFR 162.151)
Potential Option: FIFRA Sec 24(c) for Non-bearing Olives Food uses still require a tolerance If tolerance is not established for a crop, ODA may issue an SLN for non-bearing only Standard label restriction: Do not harvest [crop] for at least 1 year (365 days) after the last date this product was applied. ODA has active SLNs for foliar application, but not tree injection --> waiting for info from EPA Emamectin benzoate (no olive tolerance)
Olives (Food): Label Guidance For olives, look for products labeled for use on: Olives Crop Group 23A Tropical and Subtropical, Small fruit, edible peel subgroup Crop Group 23 Tropical and Subtropical Fruit, Edible Peel Group NOT 23B or 23C they do NOT contain olive!

Olives (Ornamental): Label Guidance Look for: Ornamental trees & olives listed Ornamental trees, including (may want to test crop safety) Be sure the label allows nursery or field use! Some labels restrict use on ornamental trees around the premises of a building, interiorscapes, etc. Some tree injection products are labeled generally for trees (e.g., emamectin benzoate)
Olives (Food): Azadirachtin Tree Injection Biosafe System s AzaGuard Botanical Insecticide (EPA Reg.

Olives (Ornamental): Currently Registered Controls Tree injections: Acephate (Ace-Jet Systemic Insecticide): organophosphate Azadirachtin (Aza-Guard Botanical Insecticide) Soil injection & basal drench: Imidacloprid (several names): soil injection, basal drench Other options: Bifenthrin (Onyxpro, Reveal, Battalion): RUP pyrethroid, trunk spray Spinosad (Conserve, Entrust SC): foliar & bark
Emamectin benzoate Emamectin benzoate does not have a tolerance that covers olives. Tree-Age G4 & Tree-Age G10 (74578-10, -12): Do not apply to trees that may yield food consumed by humans or used in animal feed. Mectinite (74779-17): Do not apply to trees that may be harvested for food consumption by humans or used in animal feed.
