N.M. Stat. § 76-4-7
Experimental use permits.
A. No person shall conduct field tests using a pesticide not registered with the
department or a registered pesticide for a use not previously approved in the
registration without first having obtained an experimental use permit from the
department.
B. Any person may apply to the department for an experimental use permit for a
pesticide. The department may issue an experimental use permit if it determines that
the applicant needs the permit in order to accumulate information necessary to register
a pesticide. The department may refuse to issue an experimental use permit if it
determines that issuance of such permit is not warranted or that the pesticide use to be
made under the proposed terms and conditions may cause unreasonable adverse
effects on the environment.
C. Use of a pesticide under an experimental use permit shall be under the
supervision of the department and shall be subject to the terms and conditions and be
for the period of time prescribed by the department in the permit.
D. The department may revoke any experimental use permit at any time, if it finds
that the terms or conditions of the permit are being violated, or that its terms and
conditions are inadequate to avoid unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
