Summary

The Landscape Category includes the use of pesticides (other than fumigants) by ground application for the maintenance of ornamental trees, shrubs, flowers and turf, on outdoor residential, commercial (e.g., golf courses and cemeteries), recreational and public land.

This category also includes pesticide use:

• in outdoor nurseries under plastic cover or open air (except inside greenhouses) for propagation of landscape and garden plants;
• on easements and surrounding lands that benefit the property;
• by injection into trees.

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 in the core, where it is necessary to include landscape specific information. An outline of the knowledge requirement for the landscape module is presented on the following page. This outline shows which sections of the Core have been expanded in the module. The knowledge requirements provided here is the information a trainer would use to provide training to an applicator on the responsible use of pesticides.
