CITRUS GROWER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES CHECKLIST <br /> The following checklist is designed to assist Indian River Area Citrus Growers in identif%-ing the . <br /> most approp^ate Pest <br /> Management Practices (BMPs) or group of strategies for their specific site and gro« ing conditions . TI sults esults should be <br /> kept on <br /> file and reviewed annually to determine if progress is being made in reducing off-site discharges of sediment . pesticides , nutrients• <br /> and aquatic plants . Providing the information requested below for the Introduction section is not msndator: . but listing <br /> this <br /> oluntan' information «ill help the grove manager select Blt1Ps that are appropriate for their specinc gro , e configLration . <br /> I.

A no answer indicates that the referenced BMPs would improve the em•ironmental performance of the <br /> grove. but implementation of all BMPs so referenced is not required Review BAJPs listed for questions that were <br /> answered " no" . Select specific BMPs from those indicated by a no answer that are appropriate for application to the <br /> grove unit sunveyed. These BMPs to be implemented should be listed in the "BMPs . . . that grove management agrees to <br /> implement . " section. Use the comment section at the end of this document ( Section VII) to explain N\ by certain BA1Ps <br /> from questions that were answered " no" «'ill not be implemented.
