Key info for farmers on the EPA’s new pesticide labeling system

Upcoming changes to the EPA’s pesticide labeling system aim to avoid blanket use restrictions that impact all farmers and increase safety for endangered species.

Changes are coming to pesticide labels across the U.S. and we want you to be aware of what that means for your operation.

The EPA has developed an online system called Bulletins Live! Two to determine if pesticide use limitations are needed to protect endangered species based on location, product, and time of application. The idea is to avoid blanket use restrictions that impact all farmers.

Applicators are only required to consult the Bulletins Live! Two system if the label that came with the pesticide container directs them to do so. Eventually, all labels will likely include this.

The EPA has a tutorial on how to do this on their website.
