Safe Organic Pesticide Use

Organic pesticides are useful tools for farmers and gardeners interested in managing insects, diseases, weeds, and other pests. However, these tools must be used correctly as part of an overall IPM strategy, with the goal of minimizing impact on the environment and the applicator, while achieving the desired goal. The workshop will focus on selecting an appropriate organic pesticide, understanding pesticide labels, mixing and using pesticides, and storing pesticides. The instructor is University of Missouri Extension horticulture field specialist Patrick Byers. #2xAg2030 #ExtendMU
