Abstract
Legislation pertaining specifically to the sale of pesticides in South Africa was first promulgated more than half a century ago when the Fertilizers, Farm Foods, Seeds and Pest Remedies Act was passed in 1917. The aim of this Act was to deter the sale of undergrade remedies thus protecting the farmer from potential commercial exploitation. This Act was replaced by more sophisticated legislation in 1947 when the Fertilizers, Farm Feeds and Remedies Act (Act 36 of 1947) was promulgated and which is still operative today. Regulations in respect of the compulsory registration and sale of veterinary remedies appeared under Government Notice 1155 of 4 June, 1948 and in respect of agricultural remedies under Government Notice 1243 of 25 May, 1951, the latter being amended by Government Notice R406 of 18 August, 1961 and substituted by Government Notice R944 and R945 of 17 June, 1966.
