This manual has been developed for individuals who want to become certified in commercial pesticide applicator Category 3G - Greenhouse Pest Management.

This category manual supplements information in the Iowa Core Manual, CS 0445, and should not be used for certification preparation without referring to that manual.

The Category 3 - Greenhouse Pest Management manual covers the plant pathogens, insects and mites, and weeds common in Iowa’s greenhouse settings, and the various strategies used in managing these pests. The 175-page manual was written with full input from subject matter experts across Iowa. Complete with four-color pictures and detailed pest information, this descriptive work will not only assist persons in preparing to take the Category 3G - Greenhouse certification examination, but will also serve as a reference for applicators and industry support personnel.
