Hello...

I have one questions about chlorine dioxide. I was wondering if anyone knows it is registered as a pesticide for agriculture?

Best regards

It is used to kill pathogens in the food industry, for sure. And the interesting part of it is that it is considered safe enough (by the FDA) to spray on the produce and meat, and not "clean off" or wash off.

I don't image it would be - it doesn't kill insects or repel them. Spraying them would only produce insects with a lower pathogen load - healthier.
