If you recommend or use pesticides, supervise the use of pesticides, or instruct others in the proper use of pesticides, the University of California has an absolutely essential tool for you.
Information covered includes selection, use, handling, storage and disposal of pesticides.
The updated text also covers important changes to federal and state pesticide laws, including the federal Worker Protection Standard. As in the first edition, emphasis is given to prevention of groundwater contamination, protection of endangered species and reduction of environmental impact. Written especially for California, this comprehensive publication is the recommended study guide for preparing for the California Department of Pesticide Regulation's PCA and pesticide applicator examinations. It has been thoroughly reviewed for accuracy and completeness.
