Join us for the New Pesticide Applicator “Crash Course” on Thursday, February 17

As advertised in the NW Ohio Newsletter. This class will help new pesticide applicators prepare for the Ohio Department of Agriculture pesticide applicator license test in CORE and cereal and grain crops (private category 1/commercial category 2c). Study guides will be provided with registration along with other resources. Study books from the OSU Extension Publications store are available at an additional cost. An additional study by the participants is encouraged beyond the two hours spent in class. Although this class will help prepare participants in Core (applying
pesticides properly and safety) and Category 1 (Grain & Cereal Crops), other resources will be made available for additional study in other certification categories.

The class will be held on Thursday, February 17 from 9:30 AM-11:30 AM. The class will be held in person.
