1. One must have a certified pesticide license to purchase these restricted use herbicides.

2. For in-season applications to Dicamba-tolerant (DT) cotton or Dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybean, the certified applicator is required to have attended Using Pesticides Wisely classroom training in 2019 before applying any of these products.

3. Industry applicator trainings are encouraged and beneficial; however, they will not fulfill state requirements.

4. Each label requires certified applicators to document application information. Forms have been designed to help with this challenge and can be found at your local UGA Extension office or at /24c.aspx.

Paraquat Dichloride Training for Certified Applicators

 

  • As required by EPA's Paraquat Dichloride Human Health Mitigation Decision and amended paraquat dichloride (a.k.a. paraquat) product labels, certified applicators must successfully complete an EPA-approved training program before mixing, loading, and/or applying paraquat. The training provides important information about paraquat's toxicity, new label requirements and restrictions, and the consequences of misuse.
  • Any person who intends to use paraquat must be a certified applicator and is required to take the training. "Use" includes pre-application activities involving mixing and loading the pesticide; applying the pesticide; and other pesticide-related activities, including, but not limited to, transporting or storing opened pesticide containers, cleaning equipment, and disposing of excess pesticides, spray mix, equipment wash waters, pesticide containers, and other paraquat-containing materials.
  • The use of paraquat, which is a restricted use pesticide, is restricted to certified pesticide applicators only; noncertified persons working under the supervision of a certified applicator are prohibited from using paraquat, including mixing, loading, applying the pesticide, and other pesticide-related activities.
  • For additional information, please visit https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-worker-safety/paraquat-dichloride-training-certified-applicators

To Access Paraquat Training

  • The official EPA-approved paraquat training module is assessable through the National Pesticide Safety Education Center.
  • The training module is accessible through https://npsec.us/paraquat
  • At the end of the module, a certificate is granted that can be used for pesticide license CEU credit. Please email credentials to Agpest@agr.georgia.gov for one hour of CEU.
