Paraquat Usage Requirements

Have you completed the EPA Paraquat Training? 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.

A record of those who have taken the training and when it expires can be found here: https://www.agr.georgia.gov/Data/Sites/1/media/ag_plantindustry/pesticides/files/training/Paraquat-Training-GA-3-21-21.pdf
