For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Use Best Management Practices (BMPs) for minimizing surface runoff in the following areas:
• Poorly drained or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent surface water
• Areas over-laying extremely shallow ground water
• Areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water
• Areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips
• Areas over-laying tile drainage systems that drain to surface water
When used on credible soils, BMPs for minimizing runoff should be followed. Consult your local soil conservation service for recommendations in your use area.
