About the course
The course will prepare individuals for the Texas Department of Agriculture’s private pesticide applicator exam and is designed for pesticide applicators in Texas who want to obtain a pesticide license.
Private pesticide applicators use or supervise the use of restricted-use or state-limited-use pesticides or regulated herbicides to produce an agricultural commodity. They can work on personally owned property, rented property, property owned by an employer, property under their general control or the property of another person — if applied without compensation other than the trading of personal services between producers of agricultural commodities.
