pesticides are used strongly across the region both by trained professionals and also by ordinary farmers and ordinary people in their homes,\u201d stated Dr. Yarde.<br \/>\nThe manual will build the capacity of people who go out in the field to inspect pesticides, control pesticides and enforce pesticides laws so that there can be drastic improvement in the usage and disposal of pesticides.<br \/>\nDr. Yarde also made mention of the groups which the manual and the workshop are targeting.<br \/>\n\u201cOpportunities for communication with other stakeholders, communication with the public, with Non-Governmental Organizations and pesticide users. Therefore, that knowledge that the inspectors have, they can then pass on to the public so the public is also more informed and able to use pesticides in a way that is safer,\u201d stated Dr. Yarde.<\/p><div id=\"antig-4180535313\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverflow.co\/web\/antigua\" aria-label=\"ANU CVP Digital Broadband 1200x400_1\"><img

proper results are to be achieved.<br \/>\n\u201cThe training has to do with exposing the Antiguan public in particular, persons who are involved in pesticides, inspections and persons who are designated pesticide inspectors to a regional manual which is seeking to harmonize the protocols and approaches to pesticide inspection throughout the region,\u201d stated Mr. Bailey.<br \/>\nMr. Bailey detailed specific beneficiaries of this meeting as pesticide inspectors who report to the Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Control Board and health inspectors from the Central Board of Health
