These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 62 topics.
It's the evening before your PA6. Course notes open at routes of entry, and tomorrow the assessor will ask how a pesticide gets into your body.
The notes give you three dense paragraphs on dermal absorption, inhalation and ingestion, with the eyes tucked in somewhere. By the morning, the words have all run together.
In the book it's one body outline. The three routes of entry plus the eyes, each one marked on the drawing, so you can see where the spray gets in.
Same with the product label, the knapsack taken apart, calibration, the filling area and the pesticide store: each one has its own page.
You see it, you get it, and you answer without going back to the notes.
The law and your certificate, the product label, COSHH and PPE, the knapsack sprayer, calibration, mixing and the weather, water and wildlife, storage and spills, and an assessment-day review: 66 pages, all illustrated
Think of it this way:
It's assessment day. The assessor hands you a knapsack, a jug and a stopwatch, and asks for your output in litres per hectare.
In the book you open calibration and the five steps are drawn in order: mark out and walk the area, time it, catch it in a jug, work out the output, then the product for the tank. With a worked example beside it.
Same with the product label, PPE, drift and the Beaufort scale, the triple rinse and a spill: each one on its own page.
PA1 & PA6 Pesticides Illustrated is 66 pages: 62 topics in 9 parts, all drawn, and it finishes with an assessment-day review: the PA1 and the PA6 on one page each, calibration on one card and questions the assessor may ask.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What a plant protection product is, what PA1 and PA6 each cover, the laws behind the Code, the differences across the four nations, approval and IPM
The label as a legal document, the MAPP number, field of use, maximum dose, harvest interval, pictograms, PPE and buffer zones
Routes of entry, hazard vs risk, the COSHH assessment in 5 steps, the hierarchy of control, PPE piece by piece, first aid and hygiene
The knapsack taken apart, hand-held kit under PA6, nozzles, pressure and constant flow valves, pre-use checks, wear and cleaning
Why you calibrate, m² to hectares and L/ha, and the five steps from walking the area to filling the tank: you work out your output and how much product to mix, with a worked example
Where to fill and mix, measuring the concentrate, formulations, drift, wind and the Beaufort scale, the weather and spraying technique
Surface water and drains, groundwater, spraying near water (that needs the separate PA6AW unit), bees and wildlife, the public and the records you must keep
The pesticide store, carrying products in the van, a spill step by step, the triple rinse, leftover spray and unwanted products
The PA1 and the PA6 practical on one page each, calibration on one card, questions the assessor may ask and a daily pre-job checklist
At the end of the book: An assessment-day review: the PA1 and the PA6 on one page each, calibration on one card and a daily pre-job checklist.
Test yourself with exam-style questions and clear worked answers, so you know which pages to go over again before the assessment.
See the most common mistakes drawn before and after, from the wrong nozzle to rinsing near a drain, so you spot them on your own job.
