Regulation

Developed and produced by Bayer, it was approved in 2012 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency^[4] and in 2013 it was approved in the EU for use as an active ingredient in pesticides.^[5]

Pesticide products containing fluopyram have been banned in Denmark because the chemical can degrade into trifluoroacetic acid, which can then contaminate groundwater and not decompose.^[6]
