By now you should have at least heard about the new technology available in the world of agronomic crops.\u00a0 We now have cotton and soybeans that are resistant to both 2,4-D and Dicamba.\u00a0 With this technology comes great responsibility among everyone in the agricultural community.\u00a0 We must use these and all pesticides wisely to protect the technology and our farming operations.<\/p>\n
Producers who decide to use this technology need to know a few things.\u00a0 First is that the new formulations of Dicamba are restricted use pesticides (RUP’s).\u00a0 To purchase these products the producer must have a valid pesticide license.\u00a0 The producer must also attend a Using Pesticides Wisely course taught by UGA Extension Specialists. Lucky for you there is an upcoming session scheduled for right here in middle Georgia.<\/p>\n
March 23rd from 9 am – 11 am we will be hosting a course at the Flint Energies Auditorium.\u00a0 This may not be the last chance to get this training before the growing season, but it is the closest and most convenient.\u00a0 If you plan to attend please call our office.\u00a0 If you cannot attend this training you can go Here<\/a> to find a training that fits your schedule, and see the Training Requirements for use of the auxin herbicides on registered crops.<\/p>\n Whether or not you grow these crops this season or not you should attend this training to be able to grow them in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We now have cotton and soybeans that are resistant to both 2,4-D and Dicamba.\u00a0 With this technology comes great responsibility among everyone in the agricultural community.\u00a0 We must use these and all pesticides wisely to protect the technology and our farming operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":399,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395\/revisions\/399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/threerivers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
