Off-Label Spraying

On yesterday’s program we heard from Dustin Morton, commercial horticulture specialist with Alberta Agriculture, about off-label spraying, what it is and why it’s dangerous. Morton says it’s important that growers know that the Pest Management Regulatory Agency, or PMRA, which regulates the use of these types of products, does do random inspections. He explains how the inspections work and the implications of spraying off-label.
