Data from usable pesticide survey responses was entered in a computer database and checked for entry errors. A database record was stored for each unique combination of grower, crop, pesticide, and target pest(s). All character data (such as brand names) were standardized for consistent usage and spelling. Specific methods used to enter and standardize data and to perform calculations are described below:

Sp363-F-Certification Of Commercial Applicators, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service

Insects, Pests, Plant Diseases and Weeds

Commercial applicators must be certified to use or supervise the use of pesticides which are registered for restricted-use only. Certification of pesticide applicators is designed to ensure that users of these pesticides have sufficient competence to use these materials without injuring humans or the environment.

After October 21, 1977, pesticides registered for restricted-use were generally available only to certified applicators. Tennessee has developed a certification program and set standards that meet the minimum requirements of federal standards.

Ec97-2505 Signs And Symptoms Of Pesticide Poisoning, Larry D. Schulze, Clyde Ogg, Edward F. Vitzthum

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Accidental exposure or overexposure to pesticides can have serious implications. The potential for pesticide accidents is real. It has been estimated that more than 36 million pounds of pesticide active ingredients are used annually in Nebraska. While most of these pesticides can be used with relatively little risk (as long as label directions are followed), some are extremely toxic and require special precautions.

The Poison Center, at the Children's Hospital in Omaha, reports that agricultural pesticides are responsible for 4.6 percent of all accidental exposures reported. A recent study surveyed callers to The Poison Center who were exposed to agricultural …
