December 29, 2009 - GUELPH, ON – The Agricultural Adaptation Council (AAC) held its 14th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on December 3, 2009.
(Guelph, ON – December 10, 2009) – The introduction of the cosmetic pesticides ban earlier this year, brought with it the need to develop alternatives to the use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes in the lawn care, landscaping, park maintenance and turf management sectors.
These alternatives are being researched and tested with the announcement of the Cosmetic Use Pesticide Research and Innovation (CUPRI) Program being administered by the Agricultural Adaptation Council (AAC). The Ministry of the Environment made available $480,000 in funding to help create and evaluate ‘greener’ options to pesticides for landscaping purposes including lawns, gardens, parks and turf grass.
