This section contains information specifically for urban extension agents regarding pesticides/fertilizers and their benefit to your communities. Visitors will learn about safe and responsible use of pest control products and the role these products play in protecting health and safety while learning about the national horticulture scene that exists in the U.S. and experiencing it from the desert to the golf course to the botanical garden.

As the only association representing interests of the specialty pest management industry, RISE voices the issues and concerns that directly impact this industry and works to provide fair and accurate information to the public.

RISE realizes the important role Extension agents play in educating the public about safe use of products and the importance of Integrated Pest Management. Extension agents also help bridge the gap between urban and rural communities, adults and children, by sharing important info with communities.
