1 Food Safety Begs on the Farm: A Grower Self Assessment Food Safety Rks Pesticide Use PESTICIDE USE
2 PESTICIDE USE Pesticide Use on Produce Farms READ FOLLOW the LABEL. The most important factor pesticide use to read follow the label structions. Th the LAW. Pesticides should only be used on crops that lted on the label only the amounts concentrations lted on the label. Proper attire equipment should be used by certified applicators to sure their safety proper application the product. Record keepg also very important when it comes to pesticide use. State federal regulations require growers to document pesticide applications keep th mation on file. Recordg the trade scientific name the chemical, the EPA regtration number, the date it was applied, the amount that was applied, the a or field that was treated, the stage development the crop, weather conditions, the name pesticide applicator certification number the applicator all very important facts that should be written down. Keepg these records an accessible location allows them to be easily referenced. Inclusion the Pesticide Use section th assessment was done at the request growers who reviewed th document. The National GAPs Program has not focused attention on pesticide use the past because it state federally regulated, but growers who tend to have a GAPs audit their farm will need to review their pesticide use, hlg, storage, dposal documentation. Proper pesticide use, hlg, storage dposal does impact the safety fruits vegetables grown on the farm. All growers should read follow the label structions use, hlg, storage, dposal to keep the commodities that they grow on the farm safe. These worksheets were developed usg mation from the Agricultural Environmental Program New York State from the Farm-A-Syst Program ( farmasyst). Additional mation on safe pesticide use, hlg, storage, dposal available from local extension or state regulatory agencies. Proper pesticide use, hlg, storage dposal does impact the safety fruits vegetables grown on the farm.
