Where necessary, this information is presented separately for agents intended for use against weeds and those for arthropod pests because of slightly different protocols in the testing and petitioning of these agents. The guide also outlines the process involved in preparing a petition of expected standardized format, and how the actual permit for importation is obtained after an agent has been approved for release. For reviewers, it outlines what information should be provided by petitioners to allow for a scientifically sound assessment of the safety of a candidate agent”--Intent, p. 3. gccst Pests gccst Pesticides gccst Weeds gccst Herbicides gccst Arthropods Mason, Peter George, 1952- Canada.
