Green Industries Best Management Practices (GI-BMP) Training - October 2026

This workshop is designed to provide training in the Green Industry Best Management Practices (GI-BMPs) for anyone working in the lawn, landscape, pest control, or municipal groundscare business.

The GI-BMP program is focused on reducing non-point source pollution resulting from fertilizer or pesticide applications.  

At the end of this training you will be given a post-test to determine knowledge learned. If the post-test is successfully completed, you will be mailed a Green Industries BMP certificate of completion. This certificate allows for the issuance of a Limited Urban Fertilizer (LUF) License through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS).

This training will also satisfy the training requirements of the City of Tallahassee and Leon County fertilizer ordinances. If you apply lawn & ornamental fertilizers as part of your job in these areas, you must now receive this training and certification.

This class also provides CEUs needed to renew a Limited Urban Fertilizer License and other pesticide applicator licenses through FDACS. CEUs are provided in the following categories:
