CPDA Launches Application Enhancement Certification Program
Launched earlier in December, the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) is launching its Application Enhancement Certification program.
This is reported to be the industry’s first, performance-based, adjuvant certification program.
CPDA states: “This certification program recognizes that drift control without biological efficacy is not a successful application and is designed to provide a more complete picture of the likely outcome of the application. This is achieved by highlighting the positive interactions between pesticide formulation type, various nozzle designs and adjuvant selection. The information provided through this program will provide applicators with an easy to understand visual of how to best manage nozzle and adjuvant selection based on the formulation type of the pesticide to be applied.”
All CPDA Certified Adjuvants are eligible for the certification. Applications must be received by January 15, 2023 to be included in the first round of testing.
