Summary

The Industrial Vegetation category includes the application of herbicides on industrial vegetation areas including roadsides, powerlines, pipelines, rights of ways, railways, well sites and equipment yards. This category also includes herbicide applications to parking lots and road beds during road construction. This category includes only ground application and does not cover aerial application, which is found in a separate category.

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