Listed below are all the chemigation check valves approved for use in Minnesota when applying fertilizer and pesticide products. The list is updated periodically, so before buying a check valve please check with the MDA to see if the check valve you are considering continues to be approved. Fertilizer applications require one check valve and pesticide applications require two check valves. Please post and retain for your records. A print-friendly version is available.

Applying pesticide or fertilizer through an irrigation system requires a permit, please see the Chemigation Permit Program for more information.
