These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 64 topics.
You're at the mixing table with two jugs. One says DANGER, the other says CAUTION, and the practice question asks which job carries more hazard. You freeze.
The manual spreads the answer over three pages: toxicity, exposure, formulation, routes of entry. All words, nothing you can picture, so by the next chapter it's gone.
In this book that idea is one page, drawn as an equation: hazard = toxicity × exposure. Toxicity comes with the product. Exposure is the part you control, with PPE, the formulation you pick and how you handle it.
The same goes for the signal words, LD50, the four routes of exposure, particle drift and the 1/128-acre calibration. Each one has its own page.
You see it, you get it, and on the exam you work it out without flipping back to the manual.
The exam and the rules, reading the label, toxicity, PPE, pests and pesticides, drift, calibration math, storage and records, and a final review with your state checklist: 68 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You're on the core exam and a question gives you a 20-acre field, a sprayer that puts out 15 gallons per acre, a 300-gallon tank and a label rate of 1 quart per acre. You need the product per tank, and you need it now.
In the book you open the page for that math and see it drawn: the tank, the acres it covers, the label rate and the same steps in the same order, with one example worked out.
Same with the signal words, LD50, the PPE statement, temperature inversions and triple rinsing: each one on its own page.
Pesticide Applicator Exam Illustrated is 9 parts and 64 topics, all drawn, and at the end a review of the most frequent mix-ups and your state checklist.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Private vs commercial certification, what makes a pesticide restricted use, the core and category exams, FIFRA and your state lead agency, the label as law, recertification
The whole label annotated, brand vs common vs chemical name, EPA Reg. No. vs Est. No., signal words, precautionary statements, mandatory vs advisory wording, REI and PHI
Hazard = toxicity × exposure, LD50 read the right way, toxicity categories in one table, the four routes of exposure, acute vs chronic effects, signs of poisoning and first aid
The PPE statement, chemical-resistant gloves, respirators, mixing and loading, cleaning PPE and work clothes, heat stress
The -cides by target, formulations, mixing order and the jar test, adjuvants, IPM in five steps, resistance and mode-of-action groups
Fine vs coarse droplets, wind, temperature inversions, vapor vs particle drift, buffer zones, groundwater and runoff, bees and endangered species
The numbers you need, field area, sprayer parts, nozzles, ground speed, the 1/128-acre method, backpack calibration, GPA, product per tank, percent active ingredient, granular spreaders
The storage site, spills step by step, triple rinsing, leftover mix and rinsate, transport, restricted use records
The most frequent mix-ups, where to look on the label, calibration math in one order, and a 2-page checklist you fill in with your own state's rules and exam details
At the end of the book: A review of the most frequent mix-ups, the calibration math in one order and a 2-page checklist you fill in with your own state's rules.
Practice the math the core exam asks for (acres, gallons per acre, product per tank, percent active ingredient) with every answer solved step by step, so the numbers stop freezing you.
The most frequent mix-ups on one sheet each (REI vs PHI, LD50 read backwards, mandatory vs advisory label language, particle vs vapor drift) so you can review them in a few minutes before the test.
📄 This is a digital PDF book sent to your email: nothing is printed or shipped.
PDF by email: We email you Pesticide Applicator Exam Illustrated as a PDF, together with the two free books. It's a single payment: no installments, no extra charges.
Private or commercial, the core topics are the base of your exam: the label, toxicity, drift and the math, one page at a time, in the same order every time. If your state gives private applicators their own exam, these are still the topics it covers.
You review by drawing, not by rereading chapters. The mix-ups page and the calibration math in one order are there for the last few days.
If you're recertifying by exam, you refresh LD50, drift and calibration without going back through the whole manual. Print it and keep it in the truck.

Yes. Every topic is drawn on its own page, and the math starts from the basics with one worked example per page. It covers the core exam; your state's category exams and laws come from your state.
From the federal EPA rules: 40 CFR Part 171 (core competencies), Part 156 (labeling and signal words), Part 170 (Worker Protection Standard) and Part 165 (container rinsing), cross-checked against the National Pesticide Applicator Certification Core Manual. Rules that can differ by state carry a "check your state" note.
No. It's an independent illustrated study book. It isn't published or endorsed by EPA or by any state agency. It doesn't give you a license or a certificate, and it doesn't count as recertification credits (CEUs): it's for studying for the exam you take with your state.
No. Use it alongside the manual your state assigns. It doesn't replace the product label, your training or medical care: in an emergency, call 911 or Poison Control.
No. They're written for this book to help you practice. They aren't official questions from any exam.
The book and the 2 bonus books come as PDFs by email.
No. It's a one-time payment.
