Want to Avoid Pesticide Use Violations?
The Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) has posted a new presentation identifying the Top 10 Agricultural Pesticide Use Violations of 2022. The presentation is also available in Spanish. DPR recommends that license and certificate holders, as well as others who handle pesticides, review this information.
We also encourage continuing education (CE) course sponsors to use this information as a tool for your future CE courses. DPR asks for your help in promoting lawful pesticide use practices by integrating this information into your curriculum and by encouraging your attendees to review these agricultural pesticide use violations as they relate to their operations to assure compliance with federal and California pesticide use requirements.
For complete information on laws and regulations regarding pesticide use, please visit our website.
