Pesticide Safety Education for private applicators
Three certification options are available: training or testing or self-study.
Certain pesticides are classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as "restricted use," and may only be applied by licensed applicators.
Private applicators may be certified by
- attending a training session conducted by the extension office ($30), or
- by completing the self study booklet available at the extension office ($60), or
- by passing a test administered by Nebraska Department of Agriculture (no charge).
Certified applicators become licensed by Nebraska
Department of Agriculture after submitting the licensing fee ($25) to NDA.
Private applicators are those who apply pesticides for themselves or farm workers who apply pesticides to their employers' ground.
Licensing is valid for three years.
