Private pesticide applicators needing to attend a 2020-2021 P-CIC program should contact their county extension office to preregister. The cost of the program is $20.00.
“Due to the continued prevalence of COVID-19 positive cases, we have added an option for private applicators to view the P-CIC program from their home,” said Kristine Schaefer, manager for pesticide safety education with ISU Extension and Outreach.
Some county extension offices will still offer the opportunity to view the P-CIC DVD program in their office, or they may host a P-CIC live or virtual program with their field agronomist at different dates and times. Applicators have until April 15 to attend the P- CIC program to maintain their recertification by CIC.
Attendees will need to preregister with a county extension office and have a computer and a good internet connection to participate in virtual programs.
The PSEP will offer additional virtual P-CIC programs in February, March and April. For more information, contact a participating county extension office or Kristine Schaefer, at 515-294-4286 or schaefer@iastate.edu
