The following information is from the MN Dept. of Agriculture on behalf of the Minnesota Golf Course Superintendent’s Association.  The following information includes fact sheets, a pesticide/fertilizer inspection request form, a list of testing locations and the order form for study materials from the University of MN Extension as well as other helpful information.  This information will enable MGCSA members to maintain their facilities in full compliance with laws and regulations that are required in the MN Pesticide Control Law, Chapter 18B.

The MN Dept. of Agriculture moved in December, 2005 and the division has been re-named, it is now called the Pesticide and Fertilizer Management Division.  Most of our fact sheets have been updated with the new address, division name and telephone numbers.  The new address for the MN Dept. of Agriculture is 625 Robert St. N., St. Paul, MN 55155.  The telephone number to the Pesticide and Fertilizer Management Division is 651-201-6121.

The Department of Ag applauds the MGCSA for proactive efforts with regard to handling and applying fertilizer and pesticides.
