Products Compatible with Organic Landscape Management
The Market for Greener Pest Management Materials Grows
With communities across the country adopting organic landscape management practices and policies for lawns, playing fields, and parks, identifying products that are compatible with the sustainable approach is a central concern for managers and residents. Organic systems nurture soil biology to support the natural cycling of nutrients, resulting in resilient turf systems and plants. Because the use of toxic materials undermines the organic system by harming the soil microbial life, identifying compatible products is an essential component of the system. To assist communities in identifying products and complying with local laws, where they exist, that restrict products to organic compatible materials, Beyond Pesticides has developed the List of Products Compatible with Organic Landscape Management.
The List is based on two established lists of materials and products: (i) the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Sub-stances of the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA), passed by the U.S. Congress in 1990 and overseen by a stakeholder board created by the statute, the National Organic Standards Board (7 C.F.R 205.601 and 602), and (ii) the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s list of exempt pesticides, Section 25(b) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (40 C.F.R. 152.25).
