Pesticide Mitigation Risk Engine (PRiME) - Beta
Pesticide Mitigation Risk Engine.
PRiME is a user-friendly, online tool that ranks pesticide products for impacts on birds, earthworms, small mammals, aquatic ecosystems and worker/bystander health and safety. This tool applies best available science to permit producers, advisors and regulatory professionals to compare different pest management scenarios for any commodity and select options with the fewest potential environmental and health hazards.
Training Opportunity -- One hour Webinar on Jul 12, 2012 -- Using the Pesticide Risk Mitigation Engine (PRiME) with Growers to Reduce Pesticide Risks. This webinar is open to IPM Coordinators, Extension, and NIFA staff interested in learning more about PRiME and its potential uses.

This manual provides recommendations
for inspection and cleaning
of vehicles and equipment as a
prevention tool to limit the spread of
invasive species. The manual will
help equipment operators gain a
better understanding of how invasive
plants and animals are spread
by contaminated equipment into new
locations and has broad applications
for many organizations and agencies.

Invasipedia houses information on invasive plants, animals, and pathogens,
and especially how to best manage them. Its foundation is the large amount of
species management information originally developed by The Nature Conservancy's
Global Invasive Species Team (site no longer supported) and is now supported
by the Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health. Its continued growth
depends upon your contributions.
