The compost tea will not affect your pesticide license for it is not a pesticide. You are not using compost tea as a control substance.
Now if you were applying say Milky Spore for contrul of beetle grubs.....that is a control and your local DEC or EPA would be a better source for how they regulate it.
In my county "organics" are considered notification exempt. Meaning that we do not have to pre notify for the application. If the product label has an EPA # then the proper record keeping is necessary for year end reports.
County to the East and last one on the Island......To apply "Organics" Certification is necessary......If I had worked in that county the seminar I attended 2/23/05 would have given me that certification. Instead I took the 5 DEC credits.
Just a couple years ago there were no EPA # on "Organic" materials......But since "Organic" has progressed in leaps in and bounds at an astonishing quick pace......the EPA is following allong...As are the States regulatory. And the rules are changed and tweaked on a day to day basis.
But here is the good thing to come of all of it. We are now getting the science behind "organics" So that we know what it does, the impact on the environment and the affects to those that use them.
