Category J: Natural Areas, Forestry and Rights-of-Way Pesticide Certification Study Manual Category J Learning Objectives Chapter 1 – Overview Know how to use the manual Chapter 2 – What is the Natural Area, Forestry, and Rights-of-Way Environment?  Describe what areas/sites an applicator with the natural area, forestry, and rights-of-way certification can treat.  Describe the type of work that requires a natural area, forestry, and rights-of-way certification.  On a drawing, identify different plant types, such as terrestrial, submergent, floatingleaved, and emergent.  Using labels, distinguish between herbicides approved for terrestrial vs. aquatic emergent plant sites of application. Chapter 3- Regulations, Licenses, and Permits  Identify the areas on a label where you should check for restrictions or special instructions for aquatic uses (refer to example label).  Determine the appropriate products to use for the intended site of application.  List three laws, licenses, or permits that you should be aware of when applying pesticides at a Category J site.  List two ecological impacts of invasive, non-native species.  Identify a situation where you would use an herbicide approved for aquatic uses.

Chapter 5 – Plant Biology  Describe how the biennial plant life cycle affects an herbicide treatment plan.  Name three parts of the plant where herbicides may be applied for plant control.  Name three plant characteristics that help with identification.  Distinguish between grasses and broadleaves  On a drawing, identify the following plant parts: meristem (growing points), roots, and epidermis.  Distinguish between herbaceous and woody plants. Chapter 6 – Integrated Pest management  List characteristics to look for when conducting a site evaluation.  List two reasons for identifying the target pest.  Identify two advantages of IPM.  Give an example of an integrated pest management (IPM) alternative to pesticide use.
