An appendix includes sample training forms for pesticide handlers and fieldworkers.

Ratings and reviews

Print is fuzzy and difficult to read in single page mode. I ordered a hard copy and ate the $10. If you eyes are good then probably not a problem

hard to read on computer, text is either super poor resolution or very very tiny

Only an idiot would’ve restricted this to Google Play
