Steps
Confirm ProFACT certification is required for any professional fertilizer application in New Jersey (separate from any pesticide applicator license — ProFACT only authorizes fertilizer products without pesticide, not combined weed-and-feed products).
Study the current ProFACT training manual issued by Rutgers NJAES.
Pass the certification exam (currently a 50-question test based on the manual) to become a Certified Fertilizer Applicator (CFA).
Alternatively, enroll uncertified crew as Trained Applicators who work under direct supervision of a CFA, and ensure they complete required annual ProFACT training.
Keep certification current per Rutgers' recertification schedule.
Known gotchas
ProFACT only covers straight fertilizer — any product combining fertilizer with a pesticide/herbicide (weed-and-feed) requires the separate NJ pesticide applicator license in addition to or instead of ProFACT.
Trained Applicators are not a permanent substitute for certification — they must work under direct on-site supervision of a Certified Fertilizer Applicator and complete annual retraining.
