The future’s uncertain for dicamba, a herbicide used to kill weeds in soybean and cotton fields that has been controversial since “low volatility” versions were labeled for use in 2017.
House Ag Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson and his counterpart on House Natural Resources, Bruce Westerman, headlined an ag-focused fundraiser for Donald Trump at the Capitol Hill Club Monday evening.
A federal judge has vacated 2020 registrations of dicamba, a herbicide that has been embroiled in controversy ever since it was first approved in 2016 because of the off-target damage it has caused.
A federal appeals court says it doesn’t have jurisdiction over a challenge to dicamba registrations brought by soybean and cotton growers, leaving the herbicide's fate in the hands of a pair of district courts entertaining somewhat differing lawsuits.
Farmers in Iowa Minnesota will have less time to spray Xtendimax, Tavium and Engenia this growing season under label amendments approved by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to register dicamba for use on soybeans and cotton is facing another lawsuit from the same groups that succeeded in convincing an appeals court to vacate registrations earlier this year.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the registrations of three dicamba herbicides — Bayer's Xtendimax, BASF's Engenia and Corteva's FeXapan — after finding that EPA substantially understated or failed to consider the social and economic costs.
