Which agency regulates pesticide use in Michigan?

The agency that regulates pesticide use in Michigan is the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. This department is responsible for overseeing the regulation, registration, and licensing of pesticides and pesticide applicators within the state. It ensures that pesticides are used safely and effectively to protect public health, the environment, and agricultural resources.

The other agencies mentioned have distinct but different responsibilities. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources focuses on the management of state parks, wildlife, and natural resources, safeguarding the environment but not specifically regulating pesticides. The Michigan Environmental Protection Agency deals with environmental protection and management of air and water quality, but it does not specifically handle pesticide regulation. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services primarily handles public health concerns and services but does not oversee pesticide regulations. Thus, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development is the correct agency for this function.
