A note on pesticides
ANR manuscripts that include trade or chemical names of a pesticide(s) must be checked by this office before ANR peer review is considered complete and the publication can be published by ANR. The submission form may be found at the link to the OPIC review page.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact the Office of Pesticide Information and Coordination (OPIC) at OPIC@ucanr.edu, or (530) 750-1251.
