REMINDER: There is an EPA Requirement for Paraquant Training

Only certified applicators can purchase pesticides classified as EUPs. In March 2019, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that certified applicators must successfully complete an EPA-approved training before mixing, loading, and/or applying paraquat. Current labeling of the active ingredient paraquat dichloride (e.g., Gramoxone, Paraquat, Blanco, Bonfire Herbicide, Devour, Firestorm, Helmquat, Para-SHOT, Parazone, and Quik-Quat) will require this additional training.
