Which agency is not responsible for pesticide applicator training and licensing?

The Texas Wildlife Conservation Agency is not responsible for pesticide applicator training and licensing because its primary focus is on the conservation of wildlife and their habitats rather than on agricultural practices or pest control. This agency emphasizes the management and conservation of wildlife resources, and while it may involve aspects of environmental management, it does not oversee the regulation of pesticide use or the training of pesticide applicators.

In contrast, the Texas Department of Agriculture and the Texas Structural Pest Control Service play crucial roles in implementing regulations and providing training programs that ensure safe and effective pesticide use. These agencies are dedicated to the agricultural sector and pest control services, thereby directly addressing the needs and responsibilities related to pesticide applications. Texas AgriLife Research also contributes by offering educational resources and research to improve agricultural practices, including pest management, but it does not license applicators itself. Thus, the Wildlife Conservation Agency stands apart from these other entities regarding pesticide training and licensing responsibilities.
