Pest Management Resource for Farmers and Ranchers
NCAT�s Ecological Pest Management Database is a user-friendly new tool for farmers and others who want to manage pests using least-toxic methods. This searchable online resource lists ways to manage specific pests. It includes information about reduced risk pesticides, such as their labels, active ingredients, manufacturer contact information, and what pests may be managed using the pesticide. The database also provides techniques to prevent pests from becoming problems in the first place. With this new resource, growers can learn whether treatment options are approved for use on organically certified acreage. The Ecological Pest Management Database highlights �biorational� pesticides. These pesticides have low non-target impacts, degrade into nontoxic components, and fall into the following categories: Microbial pesticides (formulations of viruses, bacteria, fungi, or nematodes); Pesticides derived from plants; Various new types of pesticides, such as particle film barriers, pheromones, and compounds like Spinosad. A major breakthrough for sustainable agriculture, the database is now available on the ATTRA website at Ecological Pest Management Database
