Development of The Pesticide Stewardship Website is funded by the NSF Center for Integrated Pest Management. The goals of the Web site are to summarize general principles of pesticide stewardship and to direct users to key resources (including state-specific regulations) by stewardship topic.
This web site will not "re-invent the wheel". Rather, significant time will be directed toward identification of existing resources, content review, and selection of best starting materials to ensure the retrieval of accurate and complete-but-concise educational materials.
