QUALIFIED COURSE MANIPULATOR AND APPLICATOR OF PHYTOSANITARY PESTICIDES
We offer courses of manipulator and application of phytosanitary pesticides of qualified level for the palmereros.
The majority of palm trees that perform chemical treatment works against the pests of palm trees, they usually do for third parties and not on their own farms, so we discourage the manipulator card and application of pesticides at the basic level since it is not valid. When carrying out any course we offer, we require a minimum capacity so we recommend that before booking the course through the store, contact us to make the reservation.
Course for the obtaining of the Qualified Level Card of Phytosanitary use, homologated by the Department of Agriculture, Fishing and Food of the Gen. Valenciana, with national validity, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of the Generalitat Valenciana, This card will be valid nationally.
The Technical-Health Regulations for the Manufacture, Marketing and Use of Pesticides, in BOE No. 223 Royal Decree 1311/2012, of September 14, which establishes the framework for action to achieve sustainable use of plant protection products, establishes Article 17 and 18, that the personnel that provide treatment services with pesticides must have passed the corresponding approved training courses, by the Ministry of Agriculture.
As of November 26, 2015, professional users and sellers of phytosanitary products must be in possession of a card that proves appropriate knowledge to exercise their activity
These pesticides are used in the field, the orchard, that is, in the land with trees. They are herbicides that eliminate weeds, pests that attack trees, etc.
goals
Know the risks derived from the use of pesticides and the most common poisonings. Master the manipulation of phytosanitary products in the application. In addition, the student will be trained to comply with the rules of prevention of occupational hazards necessary for the performance of their work, in the application in addition to first aid in their poisoning.
