University of Missouri Extension weed scientist Kevin Bradley says registration is open for in-person training on synthetic auxin herbicides (dicamba and 2,4-D products).

Registration for online training will be available Jan. 4, 2018.

The Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA) requires certified applicators to complete online or in-person training before buying or using dicamba. MDA designated MU Extension as the sole source for dicamba training. Only certified applicators may purchase or apply dicamba. Visit agriculture.mo.gov/dicamba to learn more about Missouri’s requirements.

In-person sessions are at Springfield, Blue Springs, Columbia, Hannibal and Sikeston. All sessions run from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The cost is $30 and advance registration is required. Seating is limited.

Dates and locations for in-person training:

To register for in-person training or for more information, go to extension.missouri.edu/main/spotlight/dicamba.aspx. For questions, call the MU Conference Office at (573) 882-4349.
