What does the "Directions for Use" section include for fumigants?

The "Directions for Use" section for fumigants provides critical information that ensures both the effectiveness of the application and the safety of those handling the chemicals. This section outlines use method restrictions and handler protections, which are essential to prevent misuse and to safeguard the health of applicators and the surrounding environment.

Use method restrictions inform applicators about the appropriate ways to apply the fumigant, including specifics about the conditions under which the fumigant can be used safely and effectively. These restrictions can include information about what types of structures can be treated and conditions that must be met to minimize risks.

Handler protections are measures designed to ensure the safety of individuals who may come into contact with the fumigant during or after the treatment. This can include personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, as well as guidelines for monitoring exposure levels. Overall, this information is vital for complying with safety regulations and ensuring effective fumigation processes.

While other sections such as storage conditions, disposal instructions, application timing, or crop suitability are also important, they are not part of the primary focus of the "Directions for Use" section, which prioritizes safe and effective application.
