Book Description
A fumigant is a type of pesticide that volatilizes after being applied as a solid, liquid, or liquefied gas. Soil fumigants applied into fallow ground before planting are an important part of integrated pest management programs in row crops and orchards, nursery operations, and turfgrass maintenance programs throughout California. Fumigants may be odorless and usually cannot be seen. It is important to remember that fumigants are among the most hazardous chemicals you will handle or encounter at your workplace. This book is for people who will study for an examination and apply for a Soil Fumigation Qualified Applicator License or Certificate (QAL or QAC) in California. To obtain a QAL or QAC in this category, you must pass examinations in the following areas:
- basic principles of effective pesticide use
- soil fumigation pest control
- laws and regulations
In this book, most of the laws and regulations covered are specific to soil fumigations performed in California. California’s pesticide laws provide general guidelines, and its regulations provide the specifics for how to comply.
In addition to demonstrating knowledge of the laws and regulations related to fumigant use, applicators are expected to prove that they understand:
- the proper handling and application of soil fumigants
- the human health and environmental risks of soil fumigants
- the methods used to avoid or mitigate the risks associated with soil fumigants

Book Description
This study manual will prepare individuals for the Department of Pesticide Regulation's (DPR's) commercial applicator Non-Soil Fumigation category (Category M) examination. Fumigants are a type of pesticide with unique physical and chemical characteristics. Fumigants are gases, or turn into gases, after application. Fumigants may be odorless and usually cannot be seen. DPR's Non-Soil Fumigation category is intended for individuals who perform pest control using a pesticide labeled as a fumigant. This category does not include structural pest control required to be licensed under Chapter 14 (commencing with Section 8500) of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code. This study manual covers important aspects of pesticides used for non-soil fumigations. However, the study manual is not a substitute for reading and understanding the label of the specific fumigant product you will be using. Thoroughly read the label prior to purchase and application. Each chapter ends with review questions. After reading each chapter, test your understanding of the information presented in the chapter by answering the review questions. The review questions are similar to those that will be on the exam.
