The Pesticide Sales and Use Reporting (PSUR) Database Group was formed to manage the pesticide data reported to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) under the Pesticide Reporting Law (PRL) of 1996. The group maintains a repository of all the data collected since 1997 and also operates the Pesticide Reporting Service Bureau, which collects and processes pesticide reports from over 7000 pesticide businesses around the state. Summaries of the data are available for searching on the PSUR website.
