Soil Fumigation: Regulatory Update, Phase II Labels, Buffer Zone Specifics

New safety measures for soil fumigant pesticide applications implemented by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) affect bareroot nursery applications of methyl bromide, chloropicrin, metam sodium/metam potassium, and dazomet. This paper summarizes some highlights from the EPA’s fact sheets about safety and risk mitigation measures, including buffer zones and emergency preparedness requirements. Readers are directed to the original fact sheets, found in the EPA’s online “Soil Fumigants Toolbox” http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/soil_fumigants/
