Using pesticides and fertilizers can be harmful to humans, wildlife, and the environment. That’s why the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Sciences (FDACS) requires testing and licensing for commercial applicators of these agents.
The University of Florida Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences will soon offer two certification trainings in Spanish on separate dates. Trainings and exams will be at the UF/IFAS Extension Collier County office, at 14700 Immokalee Road, Naples. Classes are limited to 30 participants. Registration is required.
