- weeds
- integrated pest management
- laws
- liability
- recordkeeping
- labels
- safety
- formulations

Using a non-technical presentation, it helps readers gain an understanding of why pesticides are used, how to apply them safely and how to do this within the letter of the law. Because the science of pesticide use has become a highly specialized field, this text is an excellent desk reference for students training to be professionals, those seeking re-certification, and those currently working in the field.
