Nebraska Extension will conduct chemigation certification training sessions in February, March and April across the state, including Alliance, Sidney, Bridgeport and Scottsbluff. Training and testing will also be available online.

Producers who plan to apply crop nutrients and pesticides through irrigation systems during 2022 — including those who need to renew their chemigation applicator certification — are required to attend a training session and pass the test administered afterward, or complete the online process. More information and directions can be found on the UNL Water chemigation site. 

Attendees are asked to pre-register at the extension office whose session they plan to attend. Dates, times and locations for the western-most sessions are listed below.
