Auxin Herbicide – Best Management Practices – Feb. 26
Changes made to the labels of dicamba-containing products labeled for over the top use in cotton and soybean have created new requirements for 2019. Anyone planning to apply dicamba (Engenia, FeXapan, or Xtendimax) over the top to dicamba-tolerant cotton or soybeans must be a certified applicator, and attend a mandatory Auxin Herbicides – Best Management Practices training (even if the training was attended in past years). This requirement mandates that whoever is driving the sprayer needs to have a private applicator pesticide license (those working under the supervision of a certified applicator may no longer make applications), before then attending one of the mandatory trainings.
On February 26, there will be two Auxin Herbicides – Best Management Practices trainings in northeastern North Carolina. One will be held at the N.C. Cooperative Extension, Currituck County Center at 11 a.m. and the other will be held at Leon Nixon’s Catering, 749 Virginia Rd., Edenton, NC at 3 p.m. Labels for 2,4-D chlorine-containing products (Enlist One and Enlist Duo) do not require that an applicator be certified to apply these products over the top. However, the NC 24(c) label requires that you must attend an Auxin Herbicides – Best Management Practices training to legally apply 2,4-D chlorine over the top.
Pre-registration for the Soybean Producer’s Meetings and the Northeast Ag Expo Small Grains Field Day are required for meal counts. You can register online or contact the office at 252-232-2261. No payment is required for either of the provided meals.
For more information or for accommodations for persons with disabilities please contact Adam Formella at 252-232-2262 or email Adam_Formella@ncsu.edu no later than five business days before the event.
