Presentations on Fumigant Requirements
EPA requires important safety measures for soil fumigant pesticides to increase protection of agricultural workers and others who live, work, or otherwise spend time near fields that are fumigated.
The following presentations provide background information about the agency's soil fumigant label requirements. For pesticide applicator or handler training programs required by the label, see soil fumigant training for certified applicators.
