Environmental groups have asked the U.S. District Court of Arizona to again consider removing EPA’s registration of dicamba products.
The Center for Food Safety and the Center for Biological Diversity filed a motion for an expedited hearing in their case against EPA and Bayer Cropsciences, referring to EPA’s December 21st report they claim acknowledges EPA’s 2020 dicamba registrations do not comply with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, or FIFRA.
The court document claims EPA relied on the same label restrictions that allowed “enormous and unprecedented damage” and that EPA’s newest restrictions resulted in little change in the number, severity, or geographic extent of dicamba-related incidents.
