| New certification Will you need to use pesticides in your vineyard? Pesticides include herbicides to kill weeds, fungicides to control plant diseases, and insecticides to control insects and mites. If so, you may need to become a certified pesticide applicator with the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA). There are two types of applicators. A private applicator applies pesticides to their own vineyard or rented ground. A commercial applicator applies pesticides for hire on someone else's vineyard. For information
on becoming certified, see: http://www.michigan.gov/mda/0,1607,7-125-1569_10988-11990--,00.html To see the exam process and schedule from MDA go to: http://www.michigan.gov/mda/0,1607,7-125-1569_16988-12006--,00.html |
