Anyone working on the cranberry bogs (bogs that have been treated within 30 days) who does not have a Massachusetts Pesticide Certification needs to have worker protection training each year. I am offering a few dates on ZOOM that your workers could attend to cover this requirement. This will be a handler training and will allow workers to help apply general use pesticide and Roundup (glyphosate) or spot treat with Intensity or Stinger. This training can be done with each person on a smartphone or computer, or in a group setting around a screen – but I need verification of each person attending. Paperwork will be completed that can cover EPA WPS requirements.
To attend a training or for more information please contact Marty at 508-265-6921 or martys@umass.edu.
