Access to Pesticides - Keeping
Valuable Tools and Approving New
Technologies
Access to pesticides to protect your crop
throughout the growing season and in storage is
a critical management tool. Uncertainty around
the regulatory process (implementation of the
Endangered Species Act, Waters of the U.S.,
and the influence of courts) and announcements
from retailers on sourcing preferences both
raise concern over what tools will be available in
the future. During this session, participants will
gain insight into what is on the horizon related
to the future use of these key management tools
and learn how they can assist in keeping them
available.
