Application How-To's Pesticides are one of many tools available to us for effective protection of crops from weeds, insects and diseases.
Pesticides require special care and handling.
The following practices outline safe, responsible and effective procedures for pesticide use and handling that can help protect our environment, our water supplies - and ourselves. Read and follow local, state and federal regulations regarding pesticide application procedures, including posting and field re-entry restrictions for treated areas. Private applicators of restricted use pesticides must be properly certified by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Applicators must know the exact location of the area to be treated, as well as the potential hazard of spray drift or subsequent pesticide movement to surrounding areas. Avoid spray drift.
