Welcome to our new Amenity website.
Weeds, pests and diseases can present a range of problems in amenity areas. Specialist amenity companies make and supply pesticides and services to help the amenity professional control these particular problems along with appropriate support services.. Through the Crop Protection Association (CPA), leading amenity manufacturers co-operate to manage technical, stewardship and regulatory matters.
CPA’s Amenity members fully support the Voluntary Initiative (VI), to proactively promote best practice in application and advice to give a better environment.
Amenity - Best Practice
Using Pesticides in the Community
Pesticides are chemical or biological substances used to control plants and pests that harm our food, health or the environment that we work, travel and play in.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Crop Protection Association (CPA) are reminding users of the risks of using hand-held spraying equipment whilst driving ATVs and similar vehicles, including quad bikes and mini tractors.
The advice follows HSE’s clarification of the Best Practice guidelines on the use of hand-held sprayers; advising drivers not to hold a spraying lance on a moving vehicle because of the risk to the sprayer operator, the public and the environment.
