Soil Fumigant Training Materials
Current as of January 2012
EPA is requiring important new safety measures for soil fumigant pesticides to increase protections for agricultural workers and bystanders – people who live, work, or otherwise spend time near fields that are fumigated. As new soil fumigant product labels appear in the market place in 2010 through 2012, fumigant users need to comply with these new requirements. The following materials are intended to assist in training people about the new soil fumigant label requirements.
