Insect Population Dynamics, Pesticide Use And Farmworker Health Revisited: Pesticide Choice And Risk Mitigation

Author

  • Wyatt, T.J.

Abstract

Several policies to reduce worker exposure, dietary and environmental risks are examined in the context of pesticide choice driven by insect population dynamics. Restricted entry policies and taxes have differing impacts for individual and aggregate risks. Limits on application rates have the most consistent impacts on risk.
