The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will offer the required private Pesticide Applicators Training (PAT) in Levelland on February 15 and again on March 14. This training is required by the Texas Department of Agriculture before taking the exam to obtain the license. A private pesticide applicator is a person who uses or supervises the use of a restricted-use or state limited- use pesticide or a regulated herbicide for the purpose of producing an agricultural commodity. This license is not for those receiving monetary compensation for a pesticide application.
To participate in the training individuals must call 806-894-3159 by noon the day before Feb. 14 or March 13. The training will begin promptly at 1pm at the Extension Office in Levelland at 1212 Houston Street. There is a $65 fee for training materials. This is only the required training. Testing will be conducted at a separate time and location. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension seeks to provide reasonable accommodation for all persons with disabilities for any educational meetings. Please contact usto advise us of the auxiliary aid or service that you will require a week in advance of training.
