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. 

BASF's Online Module

BASF offers a self-paced online module required for Engenia herbicide and other dicamba products approved for OTT applications on dicamba-tolerant soybean and cotton.
