Project Description:

The goal of the NC Agromedicine project is to aide more than 1300 farms across the state in implementing RMMs. Strategies to accomplish the goal include identifying and developing media resources and conducting 25 interactive workshops across the state between May 2010 and April 2012. Workshops will target farm operators, fumigant applicators, and fumigant handlers and provide training on RMMs including the development of a Fumigant Management Plan, management of buffer zones, and dissemination of materials needed for record keeping, posting, notification, and emergency response.
