Fertilizer supply tank, portable injection pump and center pivot connections for an irrigation system in northeast Nebraska that uses a submersible pump. |
Individuals whose Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality chemigation certificate expired on December 31, 2011 can become recertified by attending training and successfully completing an exam.
The Nebraska Chemigation Act of 1987 requires a person directly involved in calibrating and monitoring a chemigation system to be certified by NDEQ. Chemigation training and certification help ensure that applicators are well informed and can avoid ground and surface water contamination from backflow of nutrients and pesticides.
Attendees should pre-register at the extension office where they plan to attend. They will receive a training manual and calibration workbook to review before the training session. On the day of the session, participants should bring the manual, calibration workbook, No. 2 pencil, and a calculator. The training is free and should take 2.5-3.5 hours.
