We use the book for the Department of Agricultural Pesticide Certification Program which is given to all new employees. The book is very useful in looking up general pesticide information as well indepth information on fumigations. The books format and print is very legable and easy to understand. The topic for each and every chapter are clearly spelled out and guild you to the proper sections in the book.I realize the labels that are in the book constantly change and are hard to keep current but I see the author tries their best to keep it current.The cost of the book seems quite high for organisations to purchase new copies every few years.
