2026 Bulletins Live! Two hands-on training and open houses
Print
EmailCatch up on new compliance requirements for pesticide applicators by attending a training or open house in February and March.
To make sure you are well prepared for the upcoming 2026 season for pesticide applications, Michigan State University Extension is hosting various trainings and open houses in February and March. If you are a pesticide applicator, you may have noticed updated pesticide labels referencing mandatory runoff mitigation or Bulletins Live! Two. Recent updates in regulations means changes in recordkeeping requirements and some restrictions on applying certain pesticide products. Are you looking to remain in compliance with these new regulations? If so, join us at any of our locations.
If you are able, please bring with you:
- Your own computer/laptop and USB thumb drive.
- List of pesticides (herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, etc.) you plan to apply in 2026 or what you applied in 2025.
- Your farm’s field locations.
