The GI-BMPs are a science-based educational program for lawn & landscape professionals. This class provides the training and exam to obtain a Limited Certification for Urban Landscape Commercial Fertilizer (LCULCF), also known as the Fertilizer License.

Is the GI-BMP Training Mandatory?

YES! Florida law states that all commercial fertilizer applicators must have a certificate from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) by January 1, 2014 (s. 482.1562, F.S.). To get this certificate, each commercial applicator must be trained in the GI-BMPs and receive a certificate of completion from UF/IFAS and FDEP. Local ordinances may require this certification sooner, or require that non-commercial applicators also be trained.

Pre-registration required.
