Pennsylvania Pesticide Recertification Training Credits Available!
On September 22, 2023, from 12 noon–1:00 ET, the Penn State Center for Agricultural and Shale Law, sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s (PDA) Agricultural Business Development Center (ABDC), will present the next webinar in the Understanding Agricultural Law educational series: “Understanding the Basics of Pesticides.”
The use of pesticides in agriculture raises numerous legal considerations and involves understanding several key concepts, such as pesticide definitions, types, uses, and possible harmful effects—including pesticide drift, which occurs when airborne pesticides unintentionally spread beyond their intended target areas, potentially impacting neighboring properties, ecosystems, and human health.
This webinar will discuss the fundamental aspects of pesticides, covering key topics such as pesticide registration and labeling, certification and licensing requirements, and worker protection standards against pesticide exposure. Additionally, we will explore the legal concerns surrounding pesticide drift and tort protection.
1 hour of substantive CLE credit available for Pennsylvania licensed attorneys at no charge.
2 credits of PDA Pennsylvania Applicator Recertification credits available at no charge.
