Farm Management
Our farm practices integrated pest management. The well being of our customers and our environment is a critical component of our daily operation.
Riverside Produce LLC IPM:
*Understanding crop ecology
*Control vs eradication - maintain acceptable levels
*Preventative practices - selection of varieties, rotating crops, proper fertilization and maintain optimal Ph, using environmentally friendly mulch layer
*Regular observation - removal of rotten fruit, allowing pests to concentrate on select plants to contain them
*Mechanical controls - tillage, manual removal, etc
*Biological controls - promoting beneficial insects (maintaining healthy, active bee colonies), naturally occurring organisms
*Responsible use of low risk chemistries
We have an Agronomist who is a Certified Commercial Applicator licensed by the State of Wisconsin on the farm. If you have further questions, please stop by and he would be happy to discuss our practices with you.
