The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service (AgriLife) and the Texas Department of Agriculture are hosting a certification and recertification training for private pesticide applicators, March 2 in Floresville, according to AgriLife Today.
“This license will enable the applicator to purchase and apply state limited use and federally restricted chemicals on his land or land he has control of for agricultural commodity production,” said Bryan Davis, AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resources agent.
“There are two training manuals that can be purchased for $50 for both and are used in the class,” Davis said. “Having these manuals in advance will help you become familiar with pesticides and their use prior to attending the training.”
A $10 cost-recovery fee will be collected at the training. For more information, to purchase the training manuals or to RSVP, contact Julie Autry at 830-393-7357.
