Policy Mitigating Acute Risk to Bees from Pesticide Products

Pesticide risk management must be based on sound science, consistent with the laws under which pesticides are regulated in the United States. EPA has been working aggressively to protect bees and other pollinators from pesticide exposures.

Presentations at 2013 Pollinator Summit --Dust Focus Group

These presentations covered pesticide exposure risks posed to honey bees by the dust from planting treated corn seed, and research on reducing dust by means such as talc replacement and standards for planter technology.

Phase 2 Site-Specific Fumigant Management Plans and Post-Application Summaries

New soil fumigant pesticide requirements protect handlers and other workers from exposure risks. FMP elements include application block information, tarp plan, buffer zone and sign posting requirements, air monitoring, and hazard communication.

Metam Sodium and Metam Potassium Fumigant Management Plan Phase 2 Templates

These templates provide a framework for structuring and reporting a plan for this type of pesticide product. Required data fields include application block size, buffer zone signage, soil conditions, and tarp plans.

Methyl Bromide Fumigant Management Plan Phase 2 Templates

Templates provide a checklist and framework for elements including certified pesticide applicator details, application block, buffer zones, sign posting, tarp plan, soil conditions, air monitoring, and good agricultural practices (GAPs).

Methyl Bromide and Chloropicrin Safety Information for Handlers

Labels for these kind of pesticides require that soil fumigant handlers receive safe handling training before participating in field fumigation, according to the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) and Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs).

Fumigant Management Plan - Phase 1 Templates

FMPs are required by pesticide labels, so EPA provides chemical-specific soil fumigant templates and samples in PDF and Word formats. Choose the appropriate template for products containing chloropicrin, dazomet, metam sodium/potassium, or methyl bromide.

Fact Sheet on Training and Exam Options for Pesticide Applicators

New pesticide label requirements for training protect applicators, other fumigant handlers and bystanders from soil fumigant exposures. Find criteria details and content check list for approval of training programs.

Implementation Schedule for Soil Fumigant Safety Measures

This fact sheet summarizes the soil fumigant pesticide product label changes that are going into effect during each of two phases. New requirements cover worker protection, training, good agricultural practices, buffer zones, sign posting, and more.
