BMPs are practicable voluntary practices that are capable of preventing
and minimizing degradation of ground water and surface water, considering
economic factors, availability, technical feasibility, implementability,
effectiveness, and environmental effects.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is responsible for
the development, promotion and evaluation of voluntary Best Management
Practices (BMPs) for pesticide and nitrogen fertilizer use, and provides information on
best management practices related to water and soil quality protection.
