By Thomas Skernivitz

Atticus Founder and CEO Randy Canady foresees several developments on the crop protection front in 2023, including the reauthorization of the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA).

″Our industry has adapted and adopted to global supply challenges. We have also adjusted to an overloaded EPA managing a backlog of work,″ Canady says. ″The fifth iteration of the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act is expected soon. While anticipating improvement, we accept the reality of delays and incorporate them into our planning.″

Atticus is currently estimating registration timelines based on performance data and workload, Canady says. In doing so, Atticus extends its commitment to reliability beyond product availability to better estimate commercialization dates of relevant branded-generic crop protection products, he says.

″With pending registrations for 20 technical active ingredients and 80 end-use products, Atticus will add more brand alternatives to our existing portfolio,″ Canady says.
