About This Course

During this course you will learn various methods for protecting the environment while using pesticides. The first step in protecting the environment is to use an integrated pesticide management (IPM) program. Since using pesticides is a valid technique in an effective IPM program, you will then learn how pesticides interact in the environment. The same material in this course can be found in the 6 CEU Bundle for Utah.
