Special Permits will only be issued for 8 specific pesticide labels. This will relieve the certified pesticide applicator from "on-site within voice contact" supervision of non-certified pesticide applicators when they are handling federally-restricted-use pesticides for which they hold a Special Permit. The labels that will be covered include:
- Endigo ZCX
- Warrior II with Zeon Technology
- Agri-Mek SC
- Besiege
- Leverage 360
- Danitol 2.4EC
- Mustang Maxx
- Lannate LV
(no Gramoxone again this year. Lorsban is no longer registered)
All Pesticide Handlers Need to Complete Training and Pass Exam
This year, all pesticide handlers are required to complete the 3-hour in person training and pass the exam given at the training (70% correct or higher).
New York DEC notes that the Special Permit process is intended for farm workers with English language skills that are not adequate to pass the DEC private applicators exam. All others are encouraged to apply for their private applicators license via taking the certification exam.
Certified Supervisors are required to attend the first 30 minutes of training.
Registrations will not be accepted after 8am April 16th. Questions? Contact Elizabeth Tee by email.
