> The idea with IPM is to use only as much as needed to control pests, not blanket the crops without even evaluating. > Pete, you miss the point entirely, so let me try again. NO ONE, I repeat NO One is blanketing with pesticides without evaluating. * Show me where I said they were. IPM was developed in response to excess use of pesticide in the past. > Consumers in some markets show a preference for organic produce if they can get it. > Again, note that "produce" is a super tiny market (around 3%) * 3% of 330 million people is almost 10 million people. Not super tiny. PLB *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
