EPA guidelines and requirements

The guidelines for field residue trials currently in effect are included in the Residue Chemistry Test Guidelines . The guidelines consist of 17 chapters or sections each

There are important instructions in each section in the series relative to specific types of tests. However, four sections of the series provide particularly significant instructions relative to field crop residue trials and a short summary of their content is listed below. 

This section outlines the general intent of the Residue Chemistry Guideline Series and serves as the basic starting point for each of the other sections in the series. In this section the following can be found
