Description: Designed for pesticide applicators, including those preparing to take certification exams and those who already are certified pesticide applicators, operators, dealers, or consultants. This edition features language that is more “reader friendly.” At the same time, readers are introduced to the technical terms that are common in the industry and may appear on Oregon pesticide exams. Topics include pesticide laws, environmental concerns, personal protective equipment, symptoms of poisoning, first aid, integrated pest management, pest identification, pesticide formulations, understanding labels, equipment calibration and calculations, mixing and application, transportation, storage, and disposal, spill management, record keeping and reporting, and liability. Each chapter is followed by study questions. (Answers are in the appendix.) Other appendixes include: pesticides and their effects on humans, handy formulas for conversions and calculations, a glossary, and references.
