PARP

A Private Pesticide Applicator is anyone who applies pesticides to property they own, rent or otherwise control for the purpose of producing an agricultural commodity. Any private applicator wishing to buy and use restricted-use pesticides must be certified by passing the Core exam.  Once certified, the private applicator must attend at least three training programs that offer PARP credit within each five-year period.
