Continuing Education Unit (CEU)-ANSWER The eight CEUs needed for
Agricultural Tree Crop Pest Control applicator recertification are equivalent to

The EPA has classified several compounds, some of which are active
ingredients in pesticide products, as Extremely Hazardous Substances. If such
compounds are found in storage facilities in quantities exceeding a specific
threshold, a formal report must be made.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is the
ANSWER state department responsible for enforcing the Florida Pesticide Law
and FIFRA regulations.
Federal law that establishes the general structure for the federal pesticide
program is known as the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

The term "bioaccumulation" refers to the build-up of harmful compounds, like
pesticides or other organic chemicals, in an organism when the rate of
absorption exceeds the rate of loss.
The tendency of some pesticides to gradually increase their concentration in
each species of creature as they move up the food chain from the bottom to the
top is known as biomagnification.
Contact Pesticide: ANSWER: A pesticide that treated plants or animals do not
consistently absorb. For these pesticides to work, they must come into close
contact with the pest or a location that the pest frequents.
Economic Threshold - ANSWER The point at which, should the pest population
continue to increase, the financial losses brought on by pest damage would
exceed the expense of pest treatment.
Eradication - ANSWER The complete removal of a pest from a specified region
is one of the three main control objectives.
In order to prevent intolerable levels of damage by the most cost-effective ways
with the least amount of risk to people, property, and the environment,
integrated pest management, or IPM, is the coordinated use of pest and
environmental information and accessible pest control strategies.
Key Pest: ANSWER: A pest that frequently causes significant harm.
