For those who have already attended UPW training, your attendance information will be posted at https:\/\/www.agr.georgia.gov\/24c.aspx<\/a> and available through the link highlighted in the picture below. Remember, it may take a few weeks after training competition before names will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before  mixing, loading, and\/or applying paraquat,<\/strong> new labels require the completion of on-line training https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/pesticide-worker-safety\/paraquat-dichloride-training-certified-applicators<\/a> approved by the U.S. EPA.  Thanks to the National Pesticide Safety Education Center, GDA has posted a list of those applicators completing training prior to 3\/21\/2021 at https:\/\/www.agr.georgia.gov\/24c.aspx<\/a>, link highlighted in slide below.  Periodic updates to the list will occur overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you complete your paraquat training you will receive a certificate. Regardless of the date in which you were trained, send your certificate to AgPest@agr.georgia.gov<\/a> for 1 CEU of pesticide credit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
