Adjourn
Pesticide Continuing Education: The Iowa
Pesticide Act provides two options for renewing
pesticide applicator certifications. An applicator
may choose to renew by re-testing every 3 years or
by attending an approved instructional training
every year.
Recertification by training requires participation
in two hours of approved instructional training each
year, in each category in which the applicator is
certified. Some programs may be approved for
more than one category and simultaneous credit
hours are possible. Applicators will not be allowed
to makeup hours that they missed in a previous year,
nor will they be allowed to carry forward excess
credit hours.
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land
Stewardship approved the ISU Greenhouse Short
Course (GSC) for two hours of recertification credit
in commercial categories 3O, 3G, and 10 or as a
Private Applicator. Applicators must attend the
entire GSC to receive a certificate of attendance at
the end of the day.
