Addressing these concerns, FPA Regional Officer (RO) Mr. Mark Nicky S. Larga emphasized that expired pesticides must undergo stability testing before any extension of their shelf life can be considered. He warned that using expired products is strongly discouraged, as it may compromise safety, reduce effectiveness, contribute to pest resistance, and even cause crop damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training also covered critical topics such as pesticide poisoning, safe storage practices, and the environmental and health risks associated with improper handling. Participants received in-depth discussions on Presidential Decree 1144, general pesticide information, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), good housekeeping practices, soil science, and proper fertilizer application techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 56 participants from Central Luzon, Region I, and the National Capital Region (NCR) attended the training, demonstrating their commitment to upholding safety standards and fulfilling the mandatory requirement for securing a dealer\u2019s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training was facilitated by RO Mr. Mark Nicky S. Larga, supported by Provincial Officers Jessielyn M. Alfuente, Dennis S. Mallari, Robilyn O. Sarmiento, Roel P. Valdez, Jerson M. Lopez, William P. Gante, and Administrative Aide June M. De Leon. ###<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by: Mark Nicky S.
