Technology is continually changing and GPS units are becoming part of our
everyday life. GPS and weather stations can also play a big role in pest
management and pesticide application. This web cast seminar looks at how
pesticide applicators can use GPS and weather stations both in pest
management and in pesticide applications.

As Pesticide Applicators, we are continually exposed to pesticides. Many of our pesticides may either an immediate serious effect if we contact it or may have a long term effect as a chronic exposure. With today's personal protective equipment, it is easy to limit your exposure to pesticides during mixing and loading, application and clean-up. Choosing the correct and appropriate equipment is important. This seminar looks at the equipment available, materials and features of safety equipment. Laundering of protective equipment is also discussed.

This presentation will discuss Alberta’s river water quality ratings compared to the ratings in Canada. It will discuss various factors (e.g. water solubility, half-life, ground ubiquity score, binding affinity, etc.) that may contribute to pesticide residues in water. It will also discuss what applicators can do to reduce the potential of pesticides entering into water.
