The value of pollinators to our environment is incalculable. Pollinators visit flowers in search of pollen and/or nectar, and in the process, the pollen grains often stick to their bodies and are carried from flower to flower. In this way, they facilitate the process we call pollination.
After completing this course participants will understand:
- The importance and status of pollinators.
- How pesticide applicators can help protect pollinators.
- How pesticides can be used to control pests with minimal risks to pollinators.
- The potential effects of treating crops during the flowering period of the crop and adjacent blooming crops and plants.
