This is NOT good. We are about to get into the peak POST application period for Dicamba in the midwest. Read the entire article.

EPA announced yesterday that it will be renewing Dicamba registration on Dicamba tolerant soybean and cotton until the end of 2025 season.  It has made some changes to the label language, and the important ones are, 1). Increase the downwind buffer to 220-ft from 110-ft. 2) Cut off date is June 30 for soybeans and July 30 for cotton, 3)  need a buffering agent in the tank to maintain pH

It would still be a restricted use product, and training requirements still remain.

If you haven’t been following the news, dicamba has stopped or will be stopped from all use by July 30, 2020. Iowa State released an article explaining what went wrong in Iowa.

The EPA has announced it will extend the registration of dicamba for two years for over-the-top use in dicamba-resistant crops.
