Abstract The objectives of this study were to identify the range of shortterm (three years) 'on the farm' user adjustment problems associated with major pesticide regulatory decisions, as well as to explain user problems and responses to those problems. This report deals with: Crop production factors affecting user adjustment; Institutional arrangements and activities; Comparison of user adjustment responses and problems; Influential forces in the user adjustment response process; and Procedural recommendations for pesticide regulatory actions. It was found that: a period of 3 years appears to be a reasonable definition for describing 'short term' transitional user adjustment problems. This study found that during the first growing season affected by a regulatory action, many farmers will attempt to 'buy time' by stockpiling the banned pesticide. For some farmers, such stockpiles may be sufficient to carry them through the second growing season as well. However, in the third growing season affected by a regulatory action, few carry-over supplies of a banned pesticide exist and thus, most, if not all, farmers are forced to make an additional adjustment response.
