Completing the GI-BMP program is required to apply for the Limited Fertilizer Applicator Certification (LF license) from FDACS. The Green Industries Best Management Practices (GI-BMP) training teaches science-based, environmentally safe landscaping practices that help conserve and protect Florida's water. A GI-BMP training certificate is required by Florida law for fertilizer applicators to get their Limited Fertilizer Applicator Certification (LF license), and is useful for all lawn-care, landscape and pest control workers, landscape designers, government staff, property managers, and others. All commercial fertilizer applicators must have a Limited Urban Fertilizer (LUF) License to make any type of fertilizer application to commercial turf or ornamental areas of parks or fields and/or the turf or ornamental area of any residential property. This is an 8-hour workshop, and will be taught by UF Faculty and industry professionals.
