REGULATED APPLICATION & SAFE USE
Soil Fumigants play an important role…
In agriculture and nursery production. Soil fumigation provides benefits to both the consumer and the grower. Yet the chemical properties that make them so effective in managing difficult-to-control soil pests and diseases require caution and proper handling. Farming chemistry — “plant medicines” — used in soil fumigation are regulated as closely as people medicines. Maybe even more so, since fumigants are also reviewed for their total environmental impact. Douglas Ag is a champion of field performance, public safety, and environmental stewardship.
Douglas Ag is known as an industry leader
