Comment submitted by American Soybean Association (ASA)

Summary: The American Soybean Association (ASA) supports the EPA's goals for the Fungicide Strategy but expresses concern that the proposed methodology may lead to overly stringent pesticide restrictions and increased costs for farmers. They specifically advocate for maintaining the current regulatory framework for treated seeds, improving the granularity of PULA maps, and ensuring that mitigation measures remain flexible and workable for soybean growers.
