Commonly Used Organic Inputs

Participants will learn about the basic regulations governing inputs used in organic production, including identifying types of products that need more thorough evaluation for compliance. Emphasis will be placed on reviewing the most common inputs used in organic production, especially for fertility and pest control. Participants will have an activity to look at a label and identify common issues of concern to address with farmers to ensure they get correct information. Finally, participants will learn how to use the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) list more effectively in their daily interactions with organic producers.
