For courses in Plant Protection, Pesticide Application, Entomology, Weed Science, Plant Pathology, Horticulture, Golf Course Management, Agronomy, Range Management and Wildlife Management.

 

The Standard Pesticide User’s Guide, Seventh Edition, covers all aspects of pesticide principles and use, including topics such as: environmental considerations; insects; plant disease agents; weeds; integrated pest management; laws; liability; recordkeeping; labels; safety; formulations; application equipment; transportation; storage; decontamination; and disposal. Using a non-technical presentation, it helps readers gain an understanding of why pesticides are used, how to apply them safely and how to do this within the letter of the law.
