Pesticides
The Pesticide Education Program strives to educate all pesticide applicators and users across the Commonwealth about pest management alternatives, including the safe, proper, and legal use of pesticides. The program promotes responsible decision-making, which will protect pesticide users, public health, plant and animal health, and the environment.
Weeds can be native or alien invasive plants that harm agricultural, disturbed, and natural ecosystems. Some people call weeds “plants out of place”, but to farmers, conservationists, land managers, and even homeowners, weeds can be extremely problematic.
