Turning Regulation Into Education

Abstract

This Ideas at Work article features a tool (pesticide management log) which was developed to reinforce the management benefits of record keeping. Using new federal pesticide record keeping regulations as the "hook," the log is used by farm managers to record data required by the new law and other data useful for making management decisions. An evaluation of 101 users of the log indicated that managers are using the log to make management decisions regarding the use of pesticides.
