Summary

This module of the national standard for pesticide applicators covers the knowledge requirements specific to the forestry category. This category includes application of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and animal repellents in forest management and in forest seedling nurseries and seed orchards. This category includes only ground application and does not cover aerial application, which is contained in a separate category.

The knowledge requirements described in this module are additional to the knowledge requirements detailed in the Applicator Core, common to all certification categories. This module adds details to sections of the Core, where it is necessary to include Forestry specific information. An outline of the knowledge requirement for the Forestry module is presented on the following page. This outline shows which sections of the Core have been expanded in this module.

The knowledge requirements provided here are the information a trainer would use to provide training to an applicator on the responsible use of pesticides. It is targeted to the trainer for teaching purposes and is not intended as an applicator manual.

In addition to the Applicator Core, modules of knowledge requirements have been developed for the following ten pesticide categories:

• Aerial
• Agriculture
• Aquatic Vegetation
• Forestry
• Fumigation
• Greenhouse
• Industrial Vegetation
• Landscape
• Mosquito and Biting Fly Flies
