Where: Gulf Coast Research and Education Center

 

 

We will be hosting a training session to help familiarize those involved with applying soil fumigants in vegetables and small fruits with the new fumigant labels. Starting December 31st, 2010, those that apply soil fumigants will be required to adhere to the new requirements present on the new fumigant labels. This training will help those that apply adhere to the new regulations which will include the development of a fumigant management plan for each application that is to take place starting in 2011.
