The first of several private pesticide applicator training dates will be held on Jan. 3, at the Nebraska Extension Crop Production Clinic, at 8:30 a.m. at the Gering Civic Center.

The 2024 private pesticide and chemigation applicator training dates and times are set to be held from January to March in several locations. Notification letters will be sent out by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture to applicators whose licenses will expire in 2024.
Pre-registration is required for all training dates and locations, as seating space may be limited. The cost of the training is $60, payable on the day of the training. Checks should be made payable to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Bring the NDA letter to training and avoid filling out more paperwork. The letter has a barcode needed for recertification.
Private pesticide licenses also can be obtained by completing an online course. Pesticide applicators can purchase access to the online course via https://psep.education/applicator/. The cost of the course is $60. Call 402-472-1632 for information. The state pesticide license fee is $25 for private applicators. An NDA private pesticide license card is required to purchase and use restricted-use pesticides to produce Agricultural Commodities.
