The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service (AgriLife) and Angelo State University’s Department of Agriculture will conduct a Private Pesticide Applicator Training beginning at 1 p.m. May 8 in San Angelo, according to AgriLife Today.
“This is not a continuing education unit training, but rather is specifically for persons seeking a Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) private pesticide applicator license, which is required to purchase and apply restricted-use herbicides and pesticides,” said Josh Blanek, AgriLife Extension agent.
Due to new TDA procedures, individuals must complete the required training first before they are able to test for a private applicator pesticide license, only obtainable through the Texas Department of Agriculture.
Individual registration is $50 due upon arrival. RSVP is required by May 1 to the AgriLife Extension office in Tom Green County at 325-659-6522 or 325-659-6524.
