Adapting to ESA: Mitigation Overview

November 15, 2025

CropLife America’s “Adapting to ESA” instructional video series is designed to provide clear, field-ready guidance that supports responsible pesticide use while protecting endangered species and their habitats. This is part 1 of the four-part series moderated by Dr. Stanley Culpepper, a leading weed science specialist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension.

The video series is part of a new set of educational tools released by CropLife America (CLA), in partnership with the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) and the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA), to help farmers, agricultural retailers, and pesticide applicators better understand the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
