This program offers pesticide license CEUs. Hillsborough, Pinellas and Manatee Counties and the City of Tampa have Fertilizer Use and Landscape Management Ordinances currently in effect. Fertilizer Use and Landscape Management Ordinances, along with the GI-BMPs are designed to reduce non-point source pollution from urban stromwater run off and leaching. Improper landscape management practices, over-irrigation and improper fertilizer applications contribute to non-point source pollution.
