The overall objective of this project is to accelerate the opportunity for commercial Plantago ovata production in the Ord River Irrigation Area, by obtaining pesticide label registration, known as Minor Use Permits for use on commercial crops in 2019. There are no current pesticide label registrations for Plantago ovata. In order for Plantago ovata to be produced commercially, MUPs must be obtained to allow agricultural pesticide application. This research details the findings of crop safety, pesticide efficacy, and residue study trial components. This research is critical in determining potential pesticide residues on the end products (seed and husk) of Plantago ovata.
