Mandatory Dicamba Resistant Crop Training – March 16

Blog information written by Dr. J. Ferrel

Friday March 16, 2018

10:00 AM -12:00 PM Eastern, 9:00-11:00 Central

Live Video Conference to be hosted simultaneously by UF/IFAS Extension Offices across North Florida

Purpose of the Training

In 2017, dicamba resistant crops were registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to receive dicamba herbicide applications over-the-top of growing cotton or soybean crops. In many states (not Florida) there were hundreds of drift complaints. Because of these issues, EPA is requiring that anyone who wishes to apply dicamba to dicamba tolerant crops, MUST participate in an auxin herbicide training before applications are made in 2018.

Who Must Attend

Any farmer that grows cotton or soybeans in Florida could potentially plant varieties with dicamba resistance. They do not need training to plant the genetics, but they MUST have training prior to dicamba application after the crop has emerged. This is the only situation where dicamba training is mandatory. Turf, forage, corn, sorghum, and small grain producers can still apply dicamba products without participating in this training.

Where to Attend

UF/IFAS Extension Offices all across North Florida will be hosting an auxin herbicide training on March 16, 2018, live via interactive video. This will allow for a question and answer period following the presentations. This training will also be recorded, however, so that any producers that are not available on March 16th can receive the training after the fact, and still receive credit. The recording will only be made available through County Extension Offices, so that the CEUs can be proctored, and the forms signed by a certified CEU provider. Contract your local UF/IFAS Extension Office to RSVP, and to get the specific location of the training being offered in your county, or to set up a time to view the recorded version at a later date.

Proof of Attendance

Since this training is required by EPA, and therefore by the Florida Department of Agriculture (FDACS), documentation of attendance for this training is required by producers prior to application of dicamba products to resistant crops.FDACS has determined that the CEU form that is received after completing the training will serve as the official documentation of attendance. Private applicator and row crop pesticide license holders will receive 2 CEUs through participation in this training, either live or through the recording viewed at your local Extension Office.

Hopefully we can repeat the success of 2017, with no reported dicamba drift issues in Florida!

Great article, very well written. Love all the information, along with how to take care of the problem. A lot of people don’t understand the importance of removing those pesky little yellow dots, this article should open a lot of eyes as to why it is so important !! Thanks for the work you put into it, hope to see more on many different subjects

As a registered beekeeper in South Florida, I really appreciated this article. We all need to be aware of our wonderful native bees and not get all bees confused with honeybees. Thank you!

Thank you Rosanna for your comment. You are correct! Organocide Bee Safe 3-in-1 Garden Spray is an organic spray recommended by UF/IFAS to help control Spider Mites in field, greenhouse, and nursery strawberry production. Here is a link if interested in other organic spray options for spider mites: https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in486.

Organocide Bee Safe 3-in-1 Garden Spray can control spider mites. It's a safe pesticide made of food grade oils that suffocate small soft bodied insects in all stages of their lives. Great alternative to harsh chemicals as it is OMRI listed and safe to pollinators.

That is an excellent point. In that case, the plant will likely be dried and pressed as a sample in a botany collection and used for research, so it is likely that the entire plant will be needed.

Like the thought of helping with plant ID, but would discourage from advising the plant be dug up to ID. Sometimes necessary I'm sure, but shouldn't be a standard, what if plant is rare or endangered?

Hi Sandy, and thank you for the excellent questions. Rhizoma peanut in a yard setting is managed differently than rhizome peanut in a pasture setting and available herbicides are based on the classification of the land. One of our state specialists recommended mowing at this point since the ornamental peanuts is no longer dormant to prevent shading, and I'm including an EDIS publication (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ep135) with herbicide options. Please feel free to email me pictures at janeecant@ufl.edu or call 386-362-2771.

However, two years later, I have been unable to keep up with invading dogfennel weeds, Bermuda, Bahia grass and other weeds. What can I use on it to eliminate the Bermuda, Bahia and weeds? Thank you

A dead tree can stand for decades, providing critical shelter and food to myriad species. If a dead or dying tree isn t threatening your residence, picnic pavilion or roadway, the Game Commission recommends leaving it to nature and the benefit of wildlife. It won t be long before you ll see its worthiness to wildlife and begin to appreciate the additional character it affords your backyard or woodlot. If you appreciate wildlife, you should appreciate dead trees.

Most people are surprised to learn that Florida has a carrot industry. While carrots have been historically produced throughout the state, the amount of land dedicated to carrot production in Florida has been limited relative to other crops like citrus or tomatoes. California has led the nation in carrot production for decades, and that will likely continue. Recently, however, vegetable producers, processors and distributors have collaborated in forming an emerging carrot industry in northeast Florida.
