12-13-24 Green Industries Best Management Practices

Florida law states that all commercial fertilizer applicators must have a Limited Certification from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) (s. 482.1562, F.S.). To get this certification, each commercial applicator must be trained in the GI-BMPs and receive a certificate of completion from UF/IFAS and FDEP. Local ordinances may require that non-commercial fertilizer applicators also be trained.

Who benefits from GI-BMP training?

•Supervisors and employees in the lawn care, pest control, or landscape industries

•Municipal parks and recreation facility supervisors and employees

•Irrigation industry workers

•Commercial property managers
