As mentioned in the previous article, future pesticide labels will likely require management strategies (mitigations) to prevent pesticide drift and runoff/erosion from treated fields. There is an opportunity to share your thoughts and experiences on potential mitigation measures with members of the Association of American Pesticide Control Officials AAPCO https://aapco.org/ which represents the state pesticide lead agencies.
