Make plans to attend UF/IFAS Extension's Woody Ornamental Production Field Day on October 18th, 2018 at the UF Gulf Coast Research and Education Center. We have another great line-up of education and field demonstrations prepared for you. Topics will include, chemical updates from chemical industry reps, pre-emergent herbicide trials on ageratum and tropical plants, updates from a plastic mulch trial, and comparison of pH and EC collection methods for large container production. SWFWMD will also send a panel and discuss questions on permits. The times will be 9:00 - 4:00. Registration will include a lunch and CEUs (1 Core and 2.5 PRVT/O&T).

Central Posting and WPS Posters
The Worker Protection Standard (WPS) requires growers to
have a central posting area that has specific information posted for employees
to see. The central posting area needs
to be in a place where workers congregate such as a time clock or a breakroom. One
of the items that needs to be posted is a certified pesticide information poster or equivalent materials. This poster has changed and the new poster can
be printed in various formats from this website: http://pesticideresources.org/wps/cp.html It comes in Spanish and/or English in different sized formats. You
can print them for free. I would suggest
you laminate it after you print it. You
can also purchase one here https://npsecstore.com/collections/posters if you cannot print one on your own.
Along with the poster there are few other things that need
to be displayed at the central posting site. Here is a list of them
below:
- Hazard
information
- Safety
Data Sheets (SDS) for each agricultural pesticide product
applied in the last 30 days, or longer if there was a restricted-entry
interval (REI).
- Pesticide
Application Information (Records)
- These
records must be posted for each agricultural pesticide product applied in
the last 30 days, or longer if there was a REI. Records must contain:
- Name
of the pesticide product(s) applied,
- Active
ingredient(s) of the pesticide product(s) applied,
- EPA
registration number(s) of the pesticide product(s) applied,
- Restricted-entry
Interval (REI),
- Crop
or site treated,
- Location
and description of the treated area(s), and
- Date(s)
and time(s) application started and ended.
