South Dakota Pesticide Product Registration: Requirements, Process, and Compliance Guidelines

Pesticide Product Registration Requirements in South Dakota

In Ohio, the pesticide product registration process is managed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA). This process ensures that all pesticide products, whether for general use or restricted use, meet both state and federal regulatory standards. Here's a comprehensive overview of the requirements for registering a pesticide product in Ohio.

EPA Compliance Prior to South Dakota State Registration

In South Dakota, pesticide product registration is managed by the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR). All pesticide products intended for sale, including those that claim to control, mitigate, or repel pests, must be registered with the state. This encompasses a wide range of products such as insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, and more.

South Dakota Pesticide Regulatory Compliance

Before registering a pesticide in South Dakota, the product typically needs to be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This ensures the product has been evaluated for safety and efficacy at the federal level.

Required Documentation for South Dakota Registration

To register a pesticide product in South Dakota, manufacturers and distributors must submit the following:

Application Form

The registration application must be completed online via the DANR portal. This is where you can also renew registrations annually.

Product Label

A label for each product must be uploaded as part of the application process. The label must comply with both federal and state requirements.

Fee Payment

The registration fee is $165 per product, which must be paid annually. If the registration is not renewed by June 30th, a late fee amounting to 50% of the registration fee will be applied.

Exemptions and Special Cases

Some products may be exempt from state registration under specific conditions. For example, certain minimum-risk pesticides that qualify under FIFRA 25(b) are exempt from federal registration but still require submission of a label and supporting documentation in South Dakota.

Compliance and Enforcement

The DANR is responsible for ensuring that all registered pesticide products meet state and federal standards. This includes routine inspections and enforcement actions in cases of non-compliance.
