| Pesticide Risk Reduction Education Short Course |
| Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - Thursday, July 30, 2009 Various |
| Category: Courses/Workshops Island: Molokai Location: Kaunakakai |
Description: July 28: 12:00-3:45, July 29: 8:00-3:45, July 30: 8:00-3:30.
Register by July 10.
This 2-1/2-day short course will benefit those who want to (1) be better informed about proper pesticide handling or (2) prepare for the Hawaii Department of Agriculture's certification exam for restricted use pesticides. An instructor from the UH College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources will emphasize the study packet’s "core" materials, which provide information common to all categories of certification. Topics include:
>Types & formulations of pesticides
>Pesticide labeling & MSDSs
>Laws and regulations about buying, storing, transporting, applying, disposal, employee protection
>Integrated pest management basics & alternatives to pesticides
>Common pests' general identification features & life cycles
>Common application equipment
>Dilution and dosage calculations
>Pesticide movement and breakdown
>Groundwater protection
>Endangered species protection
>Carry-over, resistance, phytotoxicity
>Hazards to pesticide handlers
>Protective clothing and equipment
>Safe mixing, loading, & application practices
>Proper transport, storage, & disposal.
Since the instructor will not cover the study packet’s “category-specific" materials, trainees who plan to take any of the certification exams are advised to study all of the material in the packet. The registration fee covers instruction and handouts. There is a separate fee for the study packet which may be ordered by using the course registration form.
The free leaflet “Test Your Math Skills” is available from the instructor or from http://pestworld.stjohn.hawaii.edu/pat/Test_Your_Math_Skills.pdf. The leaflet presents exercises and answers that will help trainees refresh basic math skills needed to understand the instructor’s calculation examples. Trainees who find the exercises difficult will get more benefit from the short course if they seek tutoring before the course begins. |
