Section E-1: Pest Management Practices- New Questions
• Several new questions added to the VCUS at request of USDA Office of Pest Management Policy
• Emphasize: – It’s okay if the operator isn’t implementing one of the
practices– Respondents should not feel pressured to provide an
answer when a practice isn’t being implemented
• If respondent refuses these questions, take good notes as to what was refused (versus simply unknown)
![Page 7: Section E: Pest Management and Conclusion · 2020. 10. 13. · Section E-1: Pest Management Practices: Questions 12 and 13 •Question 12 focusses on how often Best Management Practices](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081620/6107e3da1b10f5158e5b35c7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Specify the primary vegetable crop and focus answers in Section E-1 on that crop.
• If the operation hires custom sprayers to apply pesticides, the operator may not have the answers to these questions.
• Use the “consent form” to get permission to contact the custom sprayer to collect this information.
