WIN-PST Evaluation (EQIP and WHIP)
Adoption and continued use of appropriate pest management practices as
outlined in NRCS
Standard 595 as part of a conservation can be supported by
NRCS cost-share programs and is one of the eligibility criteria for the new
Conservation Security Program.
The NRCS Pest Management Standard requires the use of the
Windows Pesticide Screening Tool
(WIN-PST) or other equivalent tool to assess the risk that a given pesticide
may contaminate ground or surface waters. This
Tropical Technology Consortium project evaluated WIN-PST and determined
that WIN-PST is an appropriate tool for use in tropical areas.
