Abstract
The use of pesticides is expanding greatly in Africa. It is essential that pesticide use be limited to only those instances where it is appropriate and that all applications be done properly and safely. The guide is not a substitute for practical, hands-on training. Agricultural extension workers who routinely handle pesticides should inquire about the availability of pesticide applicator"s certification programs. The purpose of this guide is to serve as a convenient field reference. Workers are encouraged to carry it with them to the site of pest outbreaks and consult it as often as necessary to ensure that pesticides are being used properly. (Author abstract, modified)
