Pesticide training

Pesticide training with Mr. Peter Shol

March 14, 2020

The objective of this is for us to learn enough about pest management in the country and also to be able to identify chemicals based on their functions (and toxicity levels). Mr. Shol is always very helpful. We are very grateful for his usual zeal to share his experience with us. Thanks Mr. Shol.

The group intends to produce crops with little or no use of inorganic chemicals. Part of our goal is to gain enough knowledge on farming practices to be able to make informed decisions and to share this with others who may have interest in producing their own organic food.

Identification of pesticides by color of labels

The color codes are used to allow persons who cannot read or who do not understand the commonly used languages on labels to know the toxicity levels of the pesticides they are using in order to take proper precautions.
