"The proposal would allow drones to apply products already registered for aerial use, provided applications follow existing label requirements, including water volumes and use conditions."
"As long as you're applying under the same circumstances... you can now legally do that by drone."
"The proposal is a policy shift, not a full regulatory overhaul, meaning it focuses on how existing labels are interpreted rather than creating entirely new rules."
"I think a lot of what PMRA wants to hear... is how farmers are actually going to use it and how it's valuable to them."
Health Canada's PMRA is proposing a policy change to expand drone use for pesticide application. Drones could apply products already registered for aerial use, adhering to existing label requirements. This approach allows drones to operate under current aerial labels without needing new registrations. The change is a policy shift focused on label interpretation rather than new regulations. Provincial governments will still oversee applicator certification and training. Input from farmers is crucial for PMRA's decision-making process regarding the proposal.
