Bayer Offering Free XtendiMax Application Training

Bayer Crop Science has free training available to farmers and applicators using the XtendiMax herbicide with VaporGrip Technology and the new XtendFlex soybeans. A company spokesperson says, "we will continue to support our customers to help with proper stewardship so they can achieve great weed control and strong harvests." Bayer offers a variety of free training options - including live webinars every Wednesday at 9 a.m. Central through the end of March 2021, self-guided online modules, and limited in-person workshops for customers unable to connect online. Bayer will continue offering training up until the application cutoff dates this summer. Applicators can sign up for training at RoundupReadyXtend.com/Training. XtendiMax herbicide remains a restricted use pesticide, and all certified applicators must undergo annual training to use the technology. The Bayer-led trainings explain the new label requirements in a clear and easy-to-understand way. Bayer has also updated the XtendiMaxApplicationRequirements.com webpage, which details the application requirements.
