Pest management plans written in compliance with the NRCS 595 Pest Management Standard are required to have an environmental risk analysis for all pesticides outlined in the plan. Currently, the NRCS Windows based Pesticide Screening Tool (WIN-PST) and the Wisconsin WIN-PST Quick Reference Guide are the only tools available for this purpose. Individuals that wish to use the computer based WIN-PST program may download it from the following website. (http://www.wsi.nrcs.usda.gov/products/W2Q/pest/winpst.html) Be aware that you must also download the soils for the county of interest from the NRCS Soils Data Mart. (http://soildatamart.nrcs.usda.gov/) 

 A simpler means of obtaining the environmental risk analysis is to download the Wisconsin WIN-PST Quick Guides from the links listed below. These tables have been very popular with pest management plan writers because they are simple to follow and the data in these tables are consistent with the NRCS WIN-PST computer program. Four separate references tables are available for the following crops: field crops/potato/commercial vegetables; apples; cherries; and cranberries.
