Soybean leaves puckering from dicamba drift

Dicamba drift from a

neighbor’s field has interfered with soybean research trials in southern

Illinois.

Phil Krieg helps manage the Syngenta Grow More Experience site on the Rend Lake College Campus. He tells Brownfield they did not know dicamba would be sprayed in the field just 150 feet from the test plots. He says they cannot spray dicamba in accordance with the label on their site, but they did plant some dicamba tolerant soybeans and can see the leaves puckering on other varieties on campus up to a quarter mile away.
