Crop Protection Stewardship Training Hub

BASF’s Product Stewardship Training Hub provides training materials and practical guidance for the safe and responsible use of crop protection products. It covers Integrated Pest Management (IPM), product selection, human safety, environmental protection, application technology, personal protective equipment (PPE), seed treatment and other specific training topics.

Foundations of responsible product use

Explore the principles and practices that form the foundation for safe and responsible crop protection product use.

Integrated Pest Management & Product Selection

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) encompasses all available pest control techniques and other measures that discourage the development of pest populations, while minimizing risks to human health and the environment.

Safety and Environment

Sustainable agriculture can only exist in healthy ecosystems where biodiversity thrives. Inadequate practices during pesticide use can have several adverse consequences on the ecosystem. They can also present a risk to operators and bystanders. We therefore commit to implementing training initiatives that ensure environmental protection and human safety.

Best Practices for Product Use

Best practice means getting the basics right all the time. The key principles for the safe and responsible use of crop protection products are a cornerstone to ensure high yields with minimal adverse environmental impact. Raising awareness on the proper use of pesticides can substantially aid hazard management.
