Collapse ▲I am also providing the links below to access the training module online. Please make sure to look over the instructions, this will take you to the module and how to navigate through it. This training module must be completed every 3 years and applicators must receive 100% on the quiz, this can be taken as many times as needed. Please note that paraquat training is NOT required to purchase the product but is MANDATORY for all activities including paraquat (including mixing, loading, application, transportation, storage, disposal, cleaning the pesticide equipment, etc.). An applicator CANNOT apply paraquat under the supervision of someone else’s license.
Dr. Cahoon has made the instructions very easy to follow. You will have to create an account but all of the information you need will be in the instruction manual.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you in any way.
