The EPA is collecting in-depth information for their next decision on dicamba registration.
The agency sent letters to the four dicamba registrants; BASF, Bayer, Corteva and Syngenta requesting all information recorded on the adverse effects of dicamba products in the past year, to ensure EPA has all relevant information to decide on re-registration of dicamba and label restrictions.
EPA cites news reports indicating that even with the more restrictive label and registration requirements implemented in October 2020, approved dicamba products for over-the-top application on dicamba tolerant soybeans and cotton continue to appear in reports of alleged adverse accidents.
