Private Pesticide Training
Author: Jessica James
Planning Unit: Henderson County CES
Major Program: Integrated Pest Management
Plan of Work: Agricultural Practices
Outcome: Initial Outcome
I had my private applicator training, which I host every year. This training is for individuals that need to become re certified in order to purchase chemicals to spray on the farm. This year, I decided to do this differently by inviting Dr. Legleiter to conduct a hands on training along with other training videos that were shown. There were many farmers that attended this meeting. There were 35 participants overall. Evaluations were not given out for this but the overall goal of this program is that the farmers or workers that are going to be spraying pesticides to gain a better understanding of how to read the pesticide labels, select the correct nozzles when spraying, wear the proper equipment, understand the importance of record keeping and overall learn how to be safe when messing with chemicals. These topics were all covered in this training.
