Dicamba Training Sessions Slated This Month in Delhi & Alexandria

BASF will be hosting two Dicamba Stewardship Training meetings in Louisiana in February.  Consultants, growers, retailers, university and anyone seeking required certification training for application of an approved dicamba herbicide are welcome to join us.  Those currently scheduled are:  

  • Thursday, February 7th, 1:00 PM – Delhi Civic Center, 232 Denver Street, Delhi, LA

  • Tuesday, February 26th, 1:00 PM – Evacuation Center, 8125 Hwy 71 South, Alexandria, LA  (Dean Lee Research & Extension Center) 

As you know, the EPA requires that an applicator of approved dicamba herbicides must be a Certified Applicator (Private or Commercial Applicator License) and undergo annual dicamba or auxin-specific training.  The LDAF requires that this be at least 90 minutes of manufacturer provided training for anyone that buys, sells or applies approved dicamba herbicides on dicamba tolerant cotton or soybeans.  Engenia® herbicide has proven to be an effective tool for managing glyphosate resistant weeds in critical areas across Louisiana.  As with all pesticides, understanding and following the label requirements are necessary for application success and for maintaining this valuable technology for the future. Thank you for your work in following and advising dicamba users of the proper procedures.
