Pesticide Use and Pest Management Practices of Canadian Apple Growers

A report of “Pesticide Use and Pest Management Practices of Canadian Apple Growers” is now available on-line. This paper is based on data collected in the Canadian Crop Protection Survey, a survey conducted on behalf of the AAFC Pesticide Risk Reduction Program. The survey was designed to collect baseline data on quantities and types of pesticides used and the integrated pest management practices employed. The document describes survey methods used, and reports on pest management practices for all Canadian apple production areas during the 2005 growing season
