The Georgia Department of Agriculture requires that certain pesticide application records must be kept by you as a licensed commercial applicator. The UGA Pesticide Safety Education Program in cooperation with the Georgia Department of Agriculture has developed a Georgia Recordkeeping Manual: For All Categories of Commercial Pesticide Applicators.
