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.

New lawsuit contends the recently-announced dicamba application cutoff dates and increased buffer zones will introduce harmful constraints for cotton and soybean growers.

The EPA recently announced the re-registration of several in-season dicamba products, with important label updates that affect your options for managing Roundup Ready 2 Xtend and XtendFlex soybean systems in 2021. Here’s what you need to know as you finalize next season’s management plan, according to WinField United.

The new registration follows Bayers' launch announcement for XtendFlex soybeans and enables full potential of industry-leading Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System.

Farmers gain continued access to dicamba technology in the battle against weed resistance.

Syngenta announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has extended the registration for Tavium Plus VaporGrip Technology herbicide in dicamba-tolerant soybeans and cotton for the 2021 growing season and beyond.

In the wake of a June court ruling vacating 3 dicamba registrations that were set to expire later this year, the Environmental Protection Agency is reviewing dicamba decisions so farmers will have time to make purchasing decisions for next season.

The court's June 3 decision vacated the EPA registration of its dicamba-based Engenia herbicide without giving BASF an opportunity to be heard. The request for review is necessary to correct errors in due process and administrative law principles, the company says.

Bayer's agreement to settle dicamba drift litigation includes $300 million to be paid directly to farmers who can provide proof of dicamba damage to crop yields in 2015-2020.

Bayer announced a series of agreements that will substantially resolve major outstanding Monsanto litigation, including cases involving U.S. Roundup product liability, dicamba drift and PCB water issues, bringing closure to approximately 75% of the current Roundup litigation involving approximately 125,000 filed and unfiled claims.
