A majority of Canadians want tighter controls on pesticides and continue to harbour negative views about them, an in-house report has shown.

Respondents were nearly twice as likely to highlight drawbacks, such as being “bad for people” and detrimental to the environment, than positive factors such as weed control and crop protection, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
