|  United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) | Pesticides: Regulating Pesticides. Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) - Science Issues | Scroll to bottom of screen. Plant-incorporated protectants are pesticidal substances produced by plants and the genetic material necessary for the plant to produce the substance. Based on our reviews of the scientific studies and often peer reviews by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Scientific Advisory Panel, EPA determined that these genetically engineered PIP products, when used in accordance with approved label directions and use restrictions, would not pose unreasonable risk to human health and the environment during their time-limited registration. | ||||
