2024 Chemigation Training

Archived Story: This article is part of our newsletter archives. It has been preserved for reference, but the information may no longer be current.

Chemigation is the practice of applying agrichemicals to cropland using an irrigation system to distribute both the water and chemical. Chemigation certification lasts 4 years, so please check your certification license or verify expiration online at http://go.unl.edu/chemigation-search.

Nebraska Extension is gearing up to train new and recertifying chemigators in 2024. Chemigators have two options, online self-study or in-person training. Both certification options are free and have the same time commitment and exam requirement.

ONLINE SELF-STUDY CHEMIGATION TRAINING
All information about the online training is at https://water.unl.edu/article/agricultural-irrigation/chemigation including:
• Access to digital versions of the chemigation training manual, calibration workbook and calculator.
• Watch the two short, online training videos.
• Link to the online chemigation training.

Contact the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Pesticide Safety Education office at 402-472-1632 or pested@unl.edu with issues about the online training.

IN-PERSON CHEMIGATION TRAINING
The in-person training requires registration due to room capacity limitations and to notify attendees of inclement weather cancellations. Please register for in-person trainings at https://go.unl.edu/chemigation2024 or call your local Extension office for help registering online.
