Bayer is offering dicamba training online as many farmers and applicators are working from home and practicing safe social distancing.

The online training options provide the same level of certification for the use of over-the-top dicamba chemistries as farmers receive in person — while keeping attendees safe from the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and spreading the infection within their communities.

“These are clearly unique times,” said Alex Zenteno, dicamba product manager at Bayer. “For those who are spending more time at home, this is a great time to be productive and get this training under their belts.”

Bayer has two online training options for customers and applicators wanting to fulfill their requirements.

Many states support online pesticide renewal; however, a handful do not. All applicators are encouraged to check with their state pesticide regulatory agency for training and application requirements locally and how they may have changed in response to COVID-19.

To participate in either form of training, applicators can visit training.roundupreadyxtend.com for more information.

Updating annual training for the over-the-top application of dicamba herbicides is mandatory for all farmers and applicators wanting to use the technology.

Syngenta follows suit

Mandatory annual training and certification for Tavium Plus VaporGrip Technology and other dicamba herbicides is being offered exclusively online this year. Upon completion of the relevant dicamba herbicide training course, applicators will receive a printable certificate of completion that will serve as proof of training for recordkeeping purposes as required by law.
