According to EPA, pesticide labels increasingly will see restrictions/other mitigation measures to protect endangered species and their designated habitat from pesticide use as part of the agency’s Endangered Species Act compliance plan.
Tennessee Farm Bureau urges farmers to: 1) read labels carefully, 2) consult EPA’s Bulletins Live! Two at https://bit.ly/3lxuAVw within six months prior to pesticide application even if not in a pesticide use limitation area, and 3) maintain pesticide application records that include a copy of the bulletin, printed or digital, to keep on file – a step that will prevent legal repercussions. More information on the pick-list options and bulletin creation, including tutorials, is on EPA’s website at http://bit.ly/3LJtLns.
