Pesticide applicator training sessions are scheduled for Cassville and Galena, Mo. on Feb. 21 and Feb. 22 respectively according to Tim Schnakenberg, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension.
The training in Cassville will be offered twice, once at 1:30 p.m. and again at 6 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 21, in the Commissioner’s Room at the Barry County courthouse. Participants can choose which session to attend and all sessions will last about three hours.
Another program is scheduled for 1p.m., Friday, Feb. 22, in Galena at the Stone County Library.
Missouri law requires all purchasers and users of Restricted-Use pesticides for private use to attend a training session to be certified for a private applicators license. The license is good for five years. This training is open to producers of agricultural commodities, 18 years of age or older, who need to receive a private pesticide license or need to recertify their license.
There is a charge of $15 for the purchase of the training materials, payable at the door.
“Pesticide applicators should be looking at their licenses for the expiration date to see if they need to recertify or attend a training session if it has expired. This type of training is required to recertify licenses,” said Schnakenberg.
