Pesticides are classified as "restricted use" for a variety of reasons:
  • Accident history

  • Potential for or history of groundwater contamination

  • Acute toxicity to humans

  • Application scenario likely to be hazardous; e.g. Fumigant s.

  • Toxicity to vulnerable nontarget plants or animals, particularly away from the site of application: fish, migrant birds

  • Carcinogenic or mutagenic product

Many insecticides and fungicides used in fruit production are restricted use.
