Fayetteville will host a Pesticide Safety School on Oct. 7-8. The event serves agricultural producers, landscapers, and pesticide applicators who need certification or license renewal. This 1.5-day training spans from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the first day and 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the second. Private applicators? They only need one day of instruction.
The N.C. Pesticide Safety Program coordinates this school. They partner with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The first day covers topics from the core exam, while the second day zeroes in on preparation for the ornamental and turf exam.
