Importance of private pesticide applicator training

The course is for participants who need to obtain or renew their TDA private pesticide applicator license, said Sam Womble, AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resources agent in Bexar County.

Private pesticide applicator licenses enable persons to purchase and apply state limited-use and federally restricted chemicals on their own land or land that the person manages for the production of agricultural commodities.
