Private Pesticide Applicator Training

Author: Shane Bogle

Planning Unit: Caldwell County CES

Major Program: Pesticide Safety – Plant Pests

Plan of Work: Production Agriculture

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The importance of the private pesticide applicator license process has not changed in many years.  Producers wishing to purchase and use restricted and general use pesticides are required to hold this license.  But in recent years just as many license holders are not farmers but general land owners, and gardeners.  Training's held in Caldwell County the last several years have focused heavily on all types of applicators not just our large farmers. Topics including pesticide record keeping, understanding the label, Integrated Pest Management, resistant weed management, sprayer calibration, minimizing drift and carryover have been utilized to drive home the message of safe handling and use of out limited pesticide arsenal. Caldwell County has over 130 re-certifications each year giving us opportunity to further education and change training's yearly to meet changing demands.
