Reducing the impact of pesticides on water quality

How well are we doing in Ireland in regards to reducing the impact of pesticides on water quality?

The grass and crop season is starting to ramp up now, as the weather improves, and with that comes the use of sprays to control weeds, fungi and pests in order to protect crops. 

Paul O’Brien, Chair of the IFA Environmental & Rural Affairs Committee, joins the Teagasc Environment Edge to discuss his role with the National Pesticide & Drinking Water Action Group (NPDWAG).
