About the training
The training is designed to prepare participants to obtain a private applicator license from the Texas Department of Agriculture.
A private applicator license allows individuals to purchase and use state-limited-use and federally restricted-use pesticides on land they own or control for the purpose of producing agricultural commodities.
Farm and ranch operators who do not currently have a private applicator license and need to purchase or use restricted-use pesticides are encouraged to attend.
To register, contact the AgriLife Extension office in Bexar County at 210-631-0400 or Dorothy Herbst at [email protected].
