Home landscape fertilization practices can protect or negatively influence water quality. When residents have positive attitudes towards good fertilizer practices, believe they have the ability to use them, and think their friends and neighbors approve, they are more likely to choose good techniques.
Join us for the July 11 Easy as PIE webinar where the speakers will provide an overview of recent research on Florida’s home fertilizer users and describe their perceptions about using good fertilizer practices. They will discuss how short videos on fertilizer behaviors influenced this audience and how videos can play a role in outreach and extension programs. The speakers will review the influence of video message design and share practical implications and opportunities for researchers and Extension to promote good landscaping practices that will protect water quality.
