Who is responsible for administering pesticide regulations in New Mexico?

In New Mexico, the responsibility for administering pesticide regulations falls under the New Mexico Department of Agriculture. This department is specifically tasked with enforcing the state's pesticide laws, which include the registration of pesticide products, compliance with safety and application standards, and ensuring that pesticide usage is in accordance with federal and state regulations.

The New Mexico Environment Department and the New Mexico Public Health Department may have roles in environmental protection and public health issues related to pesticide use, but they do not hold the primary authority for administering pesticide regulations. The United States Department of Agriculture oversees federal agricultural policies, including some aspects of pesticide regulation, but it does not specifically manage state-level regulations like those established by the New Mexico Department of Agriculture.
