Under the provisions of the Mississippi Pesticide Application Law, the Bureau carries out various activities to certify commercial and private applicators of pesticides, cooperate with EPA on enforcement of federal pesticide laws, inspect records of applications of restricted-use pesticides and investigate pesticide misuse complaints.
Private Applicator Certification
Private applicators are producers of agricultural commodities (farmers). To meet certification requirements, they must attend an approved training course and pass a written examination. For more information go to extension.msstate.edu/agriculture/pesticide-applicator-certification.
