格林斯博罗，北卡罗来纳州，美国 – The Coalition for Urban/Rural Environmental 管理 (治疗), with support from 先正达, today released an educational film showcasing best-management practices (BMPs) for protecting pollinators on farms and urban landscapes.

“Because farmland treated for pests is often shared by pollinators, it is important to help farmers and pesticide applicators understand how best to control damaging crop pests, while minimizing the impact on pollinators,” said Parry Klassen, executive director, 治疗, and the film’s producer and narrator. “Additionally, proper pesticide use should protect pollinators’ forage and habitat.”

In the film, “传粉媒介和农药管理,” Klassen shares BMPs set forth in the 宣传册 of the same name. These guidelines include reading and following pesticide label directions and precautions—and using integrated pest management (IPM), an approach that takes into account the unique chemical, cultural, mechanical and biological aspects of a farmer’s operation to inform a customized pest-management program.

“Many crops are dependent upon the pollination role provided by bees and other pollinators, and it is incumbent on farmers and crop input providers to protect pollinators, while managing crop pests and improving crop yields,” said Caydee Savinelli, pollinator and IPM stewardship lead, 先正达. “Delivering crop protection products brings the responsibility to educate farmers and applicators on BMPs for using these important inputs in a safe and environmentally sustainable way.”

This film reflects the latest project resulting from a long-standing collaboration between 先正达 and 治疗—a relationship built on the common goal of proactive pesticide stewardship. Since 治疗’ inception 20 years ago, 先正达 has worked with the organization to sponsor educational outreach efforts on a wide range of topics relating to health, safety and the environment.
