Green Industries Best Management Practices
The Florida Friendly Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Quality by the Green Industries program, commonly known as the “Green Industries Best Management Practices” was developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Department of Community Affairs, the water management districts, University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and the green industries.
It was designed to provide landscaping professionals with knowledge, skills and tools to minimize the impacts of nonpoint sources pollution related to their business practices. The program promotes careful consideration of plant selection, irrigation, maintenance, fertilization and pesticide application that does not compromise Florida’s environment.
