The use of plant protection products is not limited to agriculture; plant protection products can also be an important element in protecting useful and ornamental plants in the garden in the home and allotment area. Before plant protection products can be used, professional users such as farmers and gardeners require a certificate of competence. This can be acquired in two different ways   <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>with the successful completion of a relevant apprenticeship (e.g. as a farmer, winegrower or gardener<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/pflschsachkv_2013\/anlage_2.html)\">(https:\/\/www.gesetze-im-internet.de\/pflschsachkv_2013\/anlage_2.html)<\/a> or<\/li>\n<li>by attending a basic training course. After passing the examination, participants receive a corresponding certificate with which they can apply for a certificate of competence (check card) from the plant protection service responsible for their federal state<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pflanzenschutz-skn.de\">(https:\/\/www.pflanzenschutz-skn.de<\/a>). It should be noted that no more than 3 years may elapse between passing the examination and applying for the certificate of competence.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A certificate of competence is required for the use of plant protection products in a professional environment. If plant protection products are used in domestic and allotment gardens, users do not need to have a certificate of competence. In this case, the dispensers (e.g. in DIY stores and garden centers) are obliged to inform customers about the correct use of the plant protection product, risks and prohibitions, among other things. For this dispensing of plant protection products, the dispensing persons require a certificate of competence, which can be acquired via our basic training course.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>If you are interested in a face-to-face event, please contact our seminar leaders:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:rolfallner@gobio-gmbh.de\">rolfallner@gobio-gmbh.de<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:wittgen@gobio-gmbh.de\">wittgen@gobio-gmbh.de<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_large\" id=\"faq-pflanzenschutz\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Answers to frequently asked questions&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;]<div class=\"w-tabs style_default switch_click accordion has_scrolling\" style=\"--sections-title-size:inherit\"><div class=\"w-tabs-sections titles-align_none icon_chevron cpos_right\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"dd7f\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-dd7f\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">What do I do if I have lost my certificate of competence?<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-dd7f\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Here comes the answer&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"n005\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-n005\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">What are the consequences if it has been more than three years since my last training course?<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-n005\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Here comes the answer&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"f232\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-f232\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Which biocides must be supplied with advice?<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-f232\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Here comes the answer&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"c459\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-c459\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">Do all biocides have to be kept out of the customer&#039;s reach?<\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-c459\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Here comes the answer&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plant protection products help to protect plants from a wide variety of pests, diseases and weeds.
