The EPA recently announced a two-year registration for over-the-top dicamba products (Engenia, Tavium, and Stryax), NC State Extension plans to continue the Auxin Herbicides-Best Management Practices for 2026. In addition to the NCSU Extension training, applicators are welcome to fulfill their training requirement via trainings offered by manufacturers, BASF, Bayer, and Syngenta.

Although encouraged, applicators using the Enlist products are NOT required to receive training.

Given the success of the hybrid trainings, we will continue that in 2026. See details below for more specifics.
