What types of pesticide registrations exist?

The correct answer is that pesticide registrations are categorized into general use and restricted use. General use pesticides are those deemed safe enough for the general public to use, which means they can be sold without restrictions. They typically pose minimal risk when used according to label instructions. On the other hand, restricted use pesticides are those that pose a higher risk to human health or the environment and therefore require individuals to be certified in order to purchase and apply them. This ensures that only trained pesticide applicators handle these more dangerous chemicals, reducing the potential for misuse and exposure.

The option mentioning permit use does not align with common terminology or regulatory categories associated with pesticide registration. Each category has specific requirements and levels of oversight to protect both human health and the environment effectively.
