description Humans are constantly engaged in struggles against competitors and diseases. One way to gain an advantage in many of those ecological interactions is through the use of pesticides. These substances are used to protect crop plants, livestock, domestic animals and people from damage and diseases caused by microorganisms, fungi, insects, rodents and other "pests,'' and to defend crops from competition with unwanted but abundant "weeds". It is important to understand that the use of words like "pest" and "weed" is highly contextual. In most situations, for example, white­tailed deer are valued for their wild beauty, and they provide economic and subsistence benefits through hunting. However, this animal may also be considered a pest when it feeds in a garden, agricultural field, or forestry plantation. The same is true, to some degree, of other species that are considered to be a pest or weed. The Handbook on Plant Protection and Pesticide management is a comprehensive, reference guide to the properties, effects, and regulation of pesticides that provides the latest and most complete information. The handbook contains all the information that should be presented in the training course, together with some additional background information. The main target groups of the course are pesticide retailers and agricultural extension officers, although farmers could also be included. With the understanding of 1PM provided by the course, participants should be able to understand the practical implementation of 1PM in actual farm and crop situations.
