Planning an important part of pesticide decisions

Agricultural inputs are a costly commodity today. Chemicals, pesticides, seed treatments, fuel and many others are expensive as it is, but having to deal with waste of these inputs because of poor planning, neglect or improper storage is something that can easily be prevented.

Careful planning

According to the Environmental Protection Agency's website, www.epa.gov, reducing waste of pesticides makes for smart financial management on the producers part. However, it also includes not just reducing spills, but not buying more than you need to apply, keeping accurate records and using older products first.
