Biofungicides: Transitioning from research to EPA registration

The regulatory considerations in transitioning from a basic research project into a marketable product will be described including the registration process and requirements, networking to enhance data and waiver development, and information on funding and organizational infrastructure related to product development. This presentation is a primer for scientists involved in university and governmental research programs on how they can integrate research to satisfy regulatory requirements as a tandem to their research projects. Biopesticide classification, research strategies and waiver construction are important considerations that can greatly assist in the process of bringing products to market.
