Grower Information: Best Management Practices Links - This page has links to many different sites that provide information on how to address many water quality issues and which practices farmers and ranchers can employ to improve water quality.
Prohibited Discharge Pesticides Many within the agricultural community might not realize there are certain pesticides that the Regional Water Quality Control Board have listed as Prohibited Discharge Pesticides. Some of these pesticides are commonly used without use restrictions. These products include Carbofuron (Furdan), Malathion, Molinate (Ordram), Methyl parathion (Parathion),and Thiobencarb (Bolero). It is important for the agriculture community to prevent any runoff from their property that might contain any of these products. Anytime the coalitions detects any one of these pesticides it must report to the regional board and take steps to find out the source of the pesticide. The coalitions will then hold grower meeting to inform growers of proper management practices that need to be implemented to prevent further runoff of these targeted pesticides.
