I am not trained to make pest management recommendations, so how will I be able develop pest management plans?
• NRCSs Pest Management Standard is different from what is commonly understood as “pest management”. The prime function of the pest management component of a conservation plan is to reduce the environmental risk of pest management activities. We do not want to take over the role of professional pest management advisors who regularly make pest management recommendations, but we do want to work closely with them to help producers develop resource-friendly pest management alternatives as part of an overall Resource Management System.
