Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP)

The Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP) is a voluntary initiative that promotes responsible use of pesticides to protect the environment and public health. It encourages farmers, pest managers, and other stakeholders to adopt integrated pest management practices, reduce pesticide reliance, and implement safety measures. PESP aims to minimize potential risks associated with pesticide applications by fostering education, best practices, and sustainable approaches, ultimately ensuring effective pest control while safeguarding ecosystems, water quality, and community health.
