A Grower's Guide to Navigating IPM Requirements in Primus 3.2 Module 9

As retailers struggle to keep up with tougher customer demands for sustainability and human rights accountability, they are turning to third party auditors to ensure their suppliers are engaging in ethical practices. Some of these practices have been long adopted by the industry because they make good business sense. Growers are not used to having to spell them out to their buyers. One practice like this is IPM. Primus 3.2 Module 9 helps to give buyers an auditable framework to assess whether a farm has an IPM program in place. This webinar will give growers resources, tips and tricks to meet the requirements of Module 9 with a minimum of effort.
