- Specific Uses of the Substance: SOE is an EPA-registered biopesticide. As a biopesticide, SOEs are currently used as an insecticide to control certain soft-bodied insects (e.g., mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies and psyllids (Puterka, n. d.)). SOEs are permitted by EPA for use as a biopesticide for foliar spray in field, greenhouse, and nursery use on any type of agricultural commodity (including certain non-food ornamentals), as well as on mushroom-growing media and on adult honey bees (U.S. EPA, 2002a). The control of Varroa mites on honeybees was the initial petitioned use for SOEs. An amendment to the petition extends the request to include the other EPA-approved pesticide uses (foliar spray on greenhouse, nursery, and field crops, and Sciarid fly control in mushroom-growing media). This review addresses the petitioned use for crops (i.e., greenhouse, nursery, and field crops; Sciarid control on mushrooms). The petitioned use for livestock is addressed in a separate report.
