Dicamba-tolerant seeds were registered for use during the 2016 growing season. Due to the lack of the accompanying dicamba formulation which was required to be used with the seeds, many growers used older formulations and the resulting drift and volatilization issues caused widespread crop damage and enforcement issues.
EPA registered the new dicamba formulation in the fall of 2016. During the 2017 growing season we continued to see widespread crop damage and enforcement issues. EPA and the registrants negotiated new labels for the 2018 season. During 2018 there were still many issues with crop and non-crop damage and enforcement. EPA approved a conditional 2-year registration with revised labels and requirements for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
