Which agency regulates pesticides in Colorado?

  1. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

  2. The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA)

  3. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)

  4. The Colorado Department of Natural Resources

The correct answer is: The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA)

The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) is the agency that regulates pesticides in Colorado. It is responsible for administering state pesticide laws and regulations, ensuring that pesticides are used safely and effectively to protect public health and the environment. The CDA oversees the licensing of pesticide applicators, the registration of pesticide products, and is involved in the enforcement of pesticide regulations to prevent misuse and protect natural resources. While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides federal oversight and establishes guidelines that states must follow regarding pesticide regulation, it is the CDA that implements these regulations at the state level. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) focuses more on agricultural aspects and food safety, and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources handles broader environmental and resource management issues.
