Cotton and soybean varieties with tolerance to auxin herbicides (2,4-D or dicamba) are nearing commercialization. Prior to making applications of dicamba to dicamba-tolerant cotton\/soybean or 2,4-D to 2,4-D-tolerant cotton\/soybeans in Georgia<\/span>, growers will be required to attend the training “Using Pesticides Wisely”<\/span><\/span><\/b>. The training will focus on helping applicators\/growers make wise decisions when applying not only 2,4-D and dicamba but all pesticides. <\/span>Growers are strongly encouraged to bring their applicators with them. <\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b>Attendance is suggested for all on farm applicators to confirm that they are educated in best management practices when applying all pesticides. <\/span><\/p>\n

The trainings last year resulted in 1061 Georgia growers completing the required training.
