This comprehensive study guide contains over 100 verified and graded questions from the Alabama OTPS (Ornamental and Turf Pest Supervisor) certification exam for the 2025/2026 session. Designed for professionals preparing for pesticide applicator supervision in Alabama, this resource fully aligns with ADAI (Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries) standards and covers key legal, safety, and identification content tested on the official exam. Topics include modes of pesticide exposure, mixing and loading safety, FIFRA violations and penalties, label misuse, signal word toxicity levels, and ADAI-specific fines. It provides detailed insights on pesticide storage practices, required recordkeeping, and control strategies—mechanical, cultural, biological, preventive, and chemical. The guide also explains the fundamentals of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), phytotoxicity, formulation labels, and measuring conversions. Additionally, it includes detailed pest and weed identification: insect pests (scales, aphids, thrips, whiteflies, lace bugs), turf and ornamental plant diseases (leaf spot, fireblight, anthracnose), and major weed types—annuals, perennials, broadleafs, grasses, and sedges—like crabgrass, goosegrass, spurge, henbit, nutsedge, and wild violets. This document is ideal for landscape supervisors, pest control professionals, turfgrass managers, horticulturists, and students in agricultural or environmental sciences preparing for OTPS certification or similar exams. Keywords: Alabama OTPS, pesticide laws, FIFRA, pesticide safety, signal words, ADAI penalties, turf pests, ornamental pests, weed identification, IPM, pesticide mixing, recordkeeping, pesticide storage, turf disease, herbicide exposure, supervisory certification
