Unit 1. Pesticide Use in Virginia - Test Your Knowledge Exam Questions and Ans wers 100% Pass What is the main purpose of the Virginia Core Manual? - Answer - To support general safety training for all pesticide users. This will help you become a competent pesticide manager. What state law sets the rules for pesticide use in Virginia? - Answer - The Virginia Pesticide Control Act. What two state agencies are responsible for ensuring the safe use of pesticides in Virginia? - Answer - The Virginia Pesticide Control Board and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. What is the difference between a private applicator and a commercial applicator? - Answer - A private applicator is a farmer who uses restricted -use pesticides while producing an agricultural commodity on private land. Agricultural commodities comprise a wide range of goods and raw materials. Examples include corn, soybeans, tobacco, food animals, nursery stock, and lumber. Commercial applicators control pests on the job for consumers, their employers, and/or the public. What is the main difference between the four classes of commercial applicators? - Answer - Their employer: 1. A commercial applicator for hire works for a pesticide business. He or she makes a living controlling pests for consumers, who pay the applicator or the employer for services rendered. Examples include people in the termite control or lawn care business. 2. A commercial applicator not for hire uses pesticides as one of several job duties. Examples include golf course superintendents and in -house pesticide applicators in private schools or food plants. 3. A government employee works for a local, state, or federal government agency. Examples include an in -house pesticide applicator in a public school or a state park employee tending landscape plantings within the park. 4. An inactive applicator does not use pesticides on the job. However, these applicators must maintain their certificate by renewing every two years and attending recertification courses as required. How does a registered technician differ from a certified commercial applicator? - Answer - A registered technician does the same type of work as other commercial applicators. However, a registered technician may use only general -use pesticides unless direct ly supervised by a certified commercial applicator. Like commercial applicators, registered technicians may be for hire, not for hire, government employees, or inactive. What sort of training is required of registered technicians? - Answer - At least 20 hours of instruction and self -study of this manual. In addition, prospective registered technicians must have at least 20 hours of on -the-job training in proper pesticide handling and application. Trainees must have the direct onsite supervision of a certified commercial applicator whenever they are handling pesticides.
