Pesticide applicator training to be held Dec. 5 and 10

Private pesticide applicators can earn five to 10 continuing education units toward the renewal of their licenses at trainings held on Dec. 5 and Dec. 10 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Overton.
Participants can earn five continuing education units by attending the training on either day, or 10 total if they attend both days, said Dr. Vanessa Corriher-Olson, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service forage specialist at Overton.
The Dec. 5, training program will include presentations on woody weed and brush control, calibrating and maintaining spraying equipment, Bermuda grass myth busting and aquatic weed control, she said.
The Dec. 10, training presentations will include information on the latest Texas Superstar horticulture plants, control of bedbugs, ants and termites, garden and fruit tree insect control, turfgrass fertility and water management and turfgrass weed control.
On either training, pending Texas Department of Agriculture approval, the five continuing education units will be divided into three categories: one laws and regulation, two in integrated pest management and two in general, Corriher-Olson said.
