Georgia Commercial and Home & Garden Pest Management Handbooks
The 2022 Commercial Pest Management Handbook has been updated and will be ready for purchase and distribution to county Extension offices this month.
Beginning in 2022, the Home & Garden Edition will be updated biennially.

Contact the product's manufacturer for the most up-to-date label.
Individual chapters of both editions are available for download from the Integrated Pest Management website… Read More

Historically, many people have viewed wetlands as “wastelands,” having few virtues. But that perception has changed. Now it is known that wetlands provide many useful services, from improving water quality to providing habitat for important fish and wildlife. These kinds of benefits would be costly to create, so maintaining natural wetlands is good for both the economy and the environment.
Many smaller wetlands occur in Georgia farmlands, and many of the values provided by wetlands benefit Georgia farmers. In this booklet, we highlight the key virtues of wetlands to agriculture, describing how wetlands associated with Georgia farms can contribute to agricultural value.
