Chemigation Applicator Training 2026

The Nebraska Chemigation Act, enacted in 1987, was designed to prevent chemicals from backflowing into the state’s ground and surface water when applied through irrigation systems. Under this law, any producer applying fertilizer or pesticide through an irrigation system must be certified by the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy & Environment (DWEE). Certification is valid for four years, and training is offered through UNL Extension.
