Study Materials are listed by chapter below.

Private Applicators apply pesticides in the production of an agricultural commodity, such as farmers, ranchers, and greenhouse workers. The Private applicator exam covers information from the General Knowledge sections (Chapter 1-5) and Agriculture Plant Pests and Agriculture Animal Pests (Chapter 6 & 7). Private applicators using fumigants must take the applicable fumigation exam (Chapter 15: L2 - Non-Soil Fumigation, Chapter 16: L3 - Soil Fumigation).


Non-Private Applicators apply pesticides for purposes other than the production of agricultural commodities, such as roadway, railroad, and golf course workers. Non-private applicators must take the General Knowledge exam (Chapter 1-5) and an exam for each category they intend to certify in.
