 Understanding the language of pesticides and environmental stewadship is critical to understanding the pages presented on this site. To assist you we have accumulated two easy to use lists of the terms and acronyms used in these and in other publications. The terms and acronyms, like individual stewardship practices, do not stand alone but work together and provide a framework of thinking about stewardship as a crucial component of pesticide use and pest management. There are also terms, though not directly related to stewardship, which will help you learn the language regarding agricultural practices, pesticides, and key government regulations.
