On March 10, 2021, the acting head of EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) indicated in an internal memo that she believes the former EPA leadership was politically-motivated and cherry-picked data when approving dicamba registrations. A recent editorial in The Counter explores the impacts of this memo and questions the fate of the contested herbicide.
Given today’s wide variety of expensive crop protectants and their various label requirements — along with ever-changing, penalty-laden regulatory mandates aimed at controlling drift — it’s no wonder no-tillers and applicators search for that one nozzle that will do the best job on their sprayer.
While seed companies would lead you to believe growers will be planting dicamba-tolerant soybeans this spring to improve yields or do a better job of controlling weeds, results from a No-Till Farmer survey indicate many will only be doing so to protect their bean crop against potential herbicide drift concerns from neighboring soybean fields.

Preventing off-target dicamba movement during application is the responsibility of the applicator, but what is less-than-clear is how far from the treated field off-target extends.
Although herbicide-resistant weeds, and the chemicals used to fight them, have been making national headlines recently, no-tillers must continue their quest to protect crops and yields by making well-informed choices about products to apply.
One of the ag industry’s top stories in 2017 — if not the top story — has been the damage caused by dicamba drift in most of the major crop-producing states.
Several amendments to the XtendiMax, Engenia, and FeXapan labels have been issued by the EPA that will impact all purchases and applications of these products in 2018 and beyond.
