The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) today released the much anticipated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) detailing the agency’s methods to manage the light brown apple moth (LBAM) and defining what, if any, impacts those methods have on the environment.
The study is especially welcome because it makes evidence-based decisions and recommendations on which treatment options are most effective while still keeping the health and safety of Californians and the environment as the key, most important focus.
