Dan Wixted of NYSIPM’s Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP) joined Weed IPM Specialist Bryan Brown on the latest episode of his Into the Weeds podcast to clarify the issue by looking at pesticide hazard and risk assessment, how the process protects human health, and the risks associated with weed control options.

Into the Weeds is available on most podcast sites, including Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
