Agricultural producers needing a private applicator license are invited to a pesticide meeting on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, starting at 8:00 a.m., at the Black Belt Research and Extension Center (BBREC).

Contact the Perry County Extension office for more details on the meeting or to register at (334) 683-6888.
The meeting will include pesticide training on several topics including label comprehension and safety. A test will be administered following the training to producers applying for a private applicator license. A score of 70 or better is needed to pass the test. After passing the test, a producer can apply for a license with the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries (ADAI). The producer will need to submit the license application and a license fee to the ADAI.
A private pesticide applicator is a certified applicator that produces an agricultural commodity on owned, rented, or leased property or on an employer’s agricultural property. The private applicator license is valid for 3 years.
