AGROVISTA HAVE released the dates for their training courses designed to help farmers and spray operators comply with the requirements of the Voluntary Initiative (VI).

Information on which pesticides to be especially careful with, handling areas, and recent changes to product labels are some of the topics covered by the courses.
