Pesticide use - Agricultural applications

Sutton - Wholesale and retail (A/B1) and agricultural application (E1/E2) - Farmers who buy and use pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, certain rodenticides) must have a certificate issued by the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et de lutte contre les changements climatiques. In fact, one person on the company must hold this certificate: owner, shareholder, agricultural successor or employee.

To obtain this certificate, applicants must submit proof of successful completion of a recognized examination with their application to the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et de lutte contre les changements climatiques. Most training courses taken as part of an agricultural diploma (DEP or DEC in agriculture) are valid.
