Turf and Ornamental Pesticide Applicator Exam Prep
New Hampshire Supervisory Registration Certification
(G2/G1) 2026/2027 Edition — 100% Verified.
Question 1 (Multiple-Choice)
Under NH Administrative Code, which license classification allows a certified applicator to
perform pesticide applications for hire on turf and ornamental properties owned by clients?
A) Private "Not For Hire" Certificate
B) Commercial "For Hire" Registration
C) Commercial "Not For Hire" Registration
D) Limited Maintenance Applicator Permit
[CORRECT: B]
Rationale: NH Pesticide Control Board regulations distinguish between Private certificates (for
applications on property owned or controlled by the applicator or their employer, not for hire)
and Commercial registrations (for applications performed for compensation). The Commercial
"For Hire" registration is required for any applicator performing services for clients on a fee
basis. The "Not For Hire" commercial classification applies to employees applying pesticides on
their employer's property only.
Question 2 (Multiple-Choice)
A golf course superintendent applies pesticides exclusively to the course owned by their
employer and receives no outside compensation for applications. Which NH license type is
required?
A) Commercial "For Hire" Registration
B) Commercial "Not For Hire" Registration
C) Private "Not For Hire" Certificate
D) Supervisory Registration only, no operational license needed
[CORRECT: B]
Rationale: The Commercial "Not For Hire" Registration applies when a certified applicator is
employed by a business (such as a golf course, municipality, or university) and applies pesticides
only on properties owned, leased, or controlled by that employer. No compensation is received
from outside clients. This differs from the Private certificate, which is typically for agricultural
,producers applying on their own land, and from the "For Hire" classification, which involves
client billing.
Question 3 (True/False)
Under N.H. Admin. Code § Pes 901.02, commercial and private applicators must maintain daily
use records at their firm, branch office, or subsidiary for a minimum of 5 years after the date of
application.
A) True
B) False
[CORRECT: B — FALSE]
Rationale: Current NH Administrative Code § Pes 901.02 requires that daily use records be
maintained for a period of at least 2 years (not 5 years), whether or not there is a renewal of
certification. These records must include: crop/site treated, address, town, pesticide and
formulation used, dosage applied, method of application, date(s) of application, target
organisms, and the names of participating registrants or permittees. Records must be available
for inspection by the Division of Pesticide Control upon request.
Question 4 (Select-All-That-Apply)
Which of the following items are REQUIRED to be included in NH daily use records per N.H.
Admin. Code § Pes 901.02? (Select all that apply)
A) EPA registration number of the pesticide product
B) Address and town of the application site
C) Total gallons of finished spray solution applied
D) Method of application
E) Target organisms
F) Weather conditions at time of application
[CORRECT: B, D, E]
Rationale: N.H. Admin. Code § Pes 901.02(c) specifies seven mandatory record elements: (1)
crop treated, site of treatment, address, and town; (2) pesticide and formulation employed; (3)
dosage applied; (4) method of application; (5) date or dates of application; (6) target organisms;
and (7) the registrants or permittees who participated. While EPA registration numbers and
weather conditions are excellent professional practice and may be required by federal labels,
, they are not among the seven specific items mandated by NH state daily record-keeping rules.
Dosage refers to the amount of product used, not total spray volume.
Question 5 (Multiple-Choice)
A pesticide product label bears the signal word "DANGER" with the statement "POISON"
accompanied by a skull and crossbones symbol. According to EPA and NH Worker Protection
Standard requirements, what is the minimum PPE requirement for handlers working with this
product?
A) Long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, and shoes plus socks
B) Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants, chemical-resistant gloves, and chemical-
resistant footwear
C) Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants, chemical-resistant gloves, chemical-
resistant footwear, protective eyewear, and a respirator with organic vapor cartridges
D) Standard work clothes with nitrile gloves only
[CORRECT: C]
Rationale: The signal word "DANGER" with "POISON" and the skull and crossbones indicates
Toxicity Category I—the highest acute toxicity classification. Per EPA labeling requirements and
the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), Category I pesticides require the most stringent PPE.
Minimum handler PPE typically includes coveralls worn over regular clothing, chemical-resistant
gloves and footwear, protective eyewear (goggles or face shield), and a NIOSH-approved
respirator with appropriate cartridges (organic vapor/particulate depending on formulation).
The label's PPE section is legally binding and must be followed exactly.
Question 6 (Multiple-Choice)
A turf manager is selecting PPE for a product labeled with the signal word "WARNING." Which
statement accurately describes the toxicity classification and corresponding PPE requirements?
A) This is a Toxicity Category I product requiring full body coverage, respirator, and chemical-
resistant boots
B) This is a Toxicity Category II product requiring long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-
resistant gloves, shoes plus socks, and protective eyewear
C) This is a Toxicity Category III product requiring only minimal PPE such as long-sleeved shirt
and long pants
D) This is a Toxicity Category IV product with no PPE required beyond standard work clothes
