If Pennsylvania growers are to produce a commercially acceptable and profitable product, they must often rely on the use of pesticides. Many growers in the state practice integrated pest management (IPM) where pesticides play a vital role. Applicators must realize their legal and moral obligations when using pesticides. Furthermore, applicators who implement pesticide safety practices and take adequate precautions will greatly reduce the possibility of accidents.
