The Mississippi State University Extension Service Office in Port Gibson will offer a course in pesticides.

The Jan. 6 class is to certify private pesticide applicators in the area of restricted-use pesticides.

A private applicator is someone who uses or supervises the use of restricted-use pesticides to produce an agricultural commodity on property owned or rented by themselves or their employer, or on property of another person with whom they trade services.

Cost for the course is $10, and it will begin at 10 a.m. at the Port Gibson office at 615 Market St.
