Commercial pesticide applicator short course Dec. 9 to 12 at UWWyoming An initial commercial pesticide applicator short course is Dec. 9, through 12, at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. "Many people who would like to apply pesticides do not have an opportunity to obtain basic training in the safe and proper use of pesticides prior to taking an exam for certification," said Mark Ferrell, state pesticide coordinator in the College of Agriculture's Department of Plant Sciences. "A short course on pesticide safety and application was developed at UW to provide individuals with an opportunity for training in the safe and proper use of pesticides in the areas of weeds, plant disease, insect and small animal control." There are numerous subjects. Go to www.uwyo.edu/plants/wyopest/wyoprog.htm to see the tentative agenda. There is a $100 registration fee and a $30 manual fee. To register online, go to https://oscse.uwyo.edu/eventmanager/OnlineRegistration.asp?EventCode=G3O. To register by phone, call toll-free 877-733-3618, ext. 2; by FAX 307-766-3914. A VISA/MasterCard or AMEX card must be used. Payment and registration can be mailed to Pesticide Applicator Certification Course, UW Conferences & Institutes, Dept. 3972, 1000 E. University Ave., Laramie, WY 82071. Make checks payable to UW/Pesticide Certification. The course involves instructors from UW's College of Agriculture, Colorado State University, the Wyoming Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "It is a great opportunity for people to receive a basic education in the safe and proper use of pesticides in a three-day course who don't have the time or the resources to attend semester-long courses at UW," said Ferrell. 10/27/08 Date: 10/22/08
