- (a) **For all microbial pesticides.**
  - (1) The following [§§ 158.2171 through 158.2174](/cfr/40/158.2171..158.2174.md) identify the data requirements that are required to support experimental use permits for microbial pesticides. The variations in the test conditions are identified within the test notes.
