About Us

The California Department of Pesticide Regulation, DPR or CDPR, is one of the six departments of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA). The mission of DPR is to protect human health and the environment by regulating pesticide sales and use, and by fostering reduced-risk pest management. DPR promotes the adoption and implementation of effective IPM systems and practices that reduce risks from pesticide use to human health and the environment in agricultural and non-agricultural settings. Projects funded by the Alliance Grant Program support those goals through collaboration (alliances) among commodity group representatives, growers, pest control advisors, and businesses, university researchers, pesticide industry representatives, conservation agencies, non-governmental organizations, sustainability certification programs, and other groups.
