DOD TO REDUGE PESTICIDE USE BY 50% BY YEAR 2000
In making a commitment to reduce its pesticide use by 50% by the year 2000, DOD has joined
wi" th E“PPpA aWesea pabere tner :i na progrd am called PestiOcyi de E5 nvi: ronmental S, tewardship, Program (PE=S P).
DOD’s primary tool in reducing pesticide use will be integrated pest management,
PESP resulted from the Pesticide Use/Risk Reduction Initiative which was jointly adopted by EPA,
USDA and the US Pood and Drug Administration in 1993. Primary goals of the initiative are: “de-
velopment of specific use/risk reduction strategies that include reliance on biological pesticides and
other approaches that are safer than traditional chemical methods; and, by the year 2000, having 75
percent of U.S. agricultural acreage adopt integrated pest nanagement programs.” PESP’s work is
directed towards the first goal while USDA’s is focusing on the second. lor additional information
about PESP. contact the hotlme at 1-800-072-1117. (Source: Utah Pesticide and Toxic News, Vol.
XIV, No: 5, May 1996)

NEW BIOLOGIGAL/CONTROL SYSTEM DEVELOPED
Canada’s Pacific Forestry Centre has developed a system which utilizes biological agents to control
unwanted hardwood tree species in managed forests. The application is done with a hand held
tool which perforates a tree trunk and inserts one or more pellets containing a pathogenic fungus.

household insecticide. Results showed that the solvent did not peak until 10-12 hours after spraying
and remained elevated after 24 hours. Clearly buildings should be ventilated after spraying. In the
future expect EPA to require more explicit labeling information. (Source Science News, Vol. 150,
