Pesticide Use. Pesticide use at St. Mary’s is not normal practice. However, we are required to notify staff, parents and guardians that if ever there were a need for pesticide use, we would give you 48 hours advance written notification. We would notify you via the contact information we have on file. Any other parties may request to be notified as well by contacting the main office and giving their contact information.
Pesticide Use. Only licensed commercially available pesticides must be used on the Allotment Garden in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and for their intended purpose. You must not wash out any containers that have been filled with pesticide in the communal water points. Any pesticide residue must be washed out on your plot or at your home. You must ensure the use of pesticide is confined to your plot and does not drift on to other plots, vegetation or footpaths as this will cause damage to or nuisance (Clause 10) to those who garden organically.
Pesticide Use. The Enrolled Property spot applies Roundup for periodic herbicide use, only in ditches and bases of ditches; average use is about 0.75 gallon per acres of ditch. Most of the ditches will be replaced with buried pipeline (see Section E.2.a) as a result of this Agreement and Roundup use will be eliminated. The Enrolled Property does periodically apply fertilizer. The mix that is currently applied varies based upon analysis of soil/grass needs but is typically a nitrogen based time release fertilizer. Generally, once per year at 300 pounds per acre of 16 (nitrogen): 20 (phosphorus) pellet application, in addition to harrowing in manure. Fertilizer is not applied within the riparian area of the Enrolled Property.
Pesticide Use. Pesticides may not be used outside of buildings to control undesirable woody and herbaceous vegetation (including aquatic plants), insects, rodents, fish, and other pests and weeds without prior written approval from the authorized officer. A request for approval of planned uses of pesticides shall be submitted annually by the holder on the due date established by the authorized officer. The report shall cover a 12-month period of planned use beginning 3 months after the reporting date. Information essential for review shall be provided in the form specified. Exceptions to this schedule may be allowed, subject to emergency request and approval, only when unexpected outbreaks of pests or weeds require control measures that were not anticipated at the time an annual report was submitted. Only those materials registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the specific purpose planned shall be considered for use on National Forest System lands. Label instructions and all applicable laws and regulations shall be strictly followed in the application of pesticides and disposal of excess materials and containers.
Pesticide Use. Pesticides are a possible contributor to Wyoming toad declines. For example, Malathion has been shown to cause negative impacts to amphibians including immunosuppression to the Xxxxxxxxx’x toad (Xxxxxx et. al 1999). Malathion and other pesticides may additionally reduce the Toad’s prey base. As such, application of such pesticides should be limited on suitable reintroduction sites. Should pesticides be considered to control mosquitos, the larvicide BTI (Bacillus thuringiensis var. isrealensis) has been effective at controlling mosquitos with no known side effects to non-target species, including amphibians. It has been used successfully throughout the State of Wyoming and at Xxxxxxxxx Lake where the largest population of Toads currently exists. If measurement is desired, pesticide strips could be placed on the property prior to spraying. Herbicide Use: Although there is no directly link between herbicide application and Wyoming toad survival, herbicide use on suitable properties should be minimized whenever possible. Application should be limited to spot spraying using a backpack type sprayer or spraying equipment mounted to an all-terrain vehicle.
Pesticide Use. The following conditions are met for all pesticides and herbicides used on plants:
Pesticide Use. Anyone applying general-use and restricted-use pesticide on partner land under this agreement must comply with Illinois Pesticide Act.
Pesticide Use i. Pesticides are poisonous. Always read pesticide label to determine active ingredients and signal words. Carefully follow all precautions and safety recommendations given on the container label.
Pesticide Use. Season length affected the use of insecticides and other pesticides. Practices varied among the fields and growers, and differed by year at the UC DREC site. But in all cases, pesticide application was largest during the fall cropping season. These data are reported in Tables Growers and their PCAs reported low insect pressure in spring 2021 when their fields were harvested in May and June. In spring 2022 (year 2), beets were harvested by the end of April before any insect pressure could be expected to occur in most years. In planning these trials, we had expected more insect pressure to occur in late spring than was observed. Except to infer that less management may be needed in practice than was commonly thought, this limited the use of data from growers’ fields to infer the need for and response to insect control in late spring/early summer. There were differences in the amounts and types of materials applied by growers in this set of studies (Table 8.2). Over the two years, the Mulberry and Marigold fields were managed by the same PCA, the Plum and Ash fields by a different PCA. Pesticide expenditures were not correlated with gross sugar yields in any obvious way, suggesting that there is an opportunity to save money through prudent pest management. Differences in management in part may reflect pest management philosophy, and may or may not reflect actual insect pressure. Growers have varying levels of comfort with respect to pest management. In meeting with the grower-cooperator group and their PCAs, differences in costs of control were noted and discussed. Sharing this information appeared to be a valuable experience for all participants. It is unclear how much informal sharing of experience and practices occurs in the pest control community in real time during critical crop management periods, but encouraging such sharing and facilitating it in real time could be an important IPM practice.
