Online Options: Annual Mandatory Dicamba Application Training
Online training options are available to ag retailers and their farmers seeking to fulfill the annual mandatory training required for applying approved over-the-top (OTT) dicamba products in their fields.
Certified applicators must participate in training before applying these products in 2021.
Bayer's Online Training Program
Bayer introduced a new online training program for dicamba applicator training to use XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology with self-paced or guided webinars. Applicators and growers in 30 states can use the training to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements and accomplish training for multiple states due to the program's customization based on the states specified.
On April 28 from 9-11 a.m. CDT, Bayer will host a free guided dicamba training session to allow for more hands-on experience as directed by an instructor. Participants will receive a certificate as proof of completion following the training.
