The Illinois Department of Agriculture has expressed interest in pursuing state specific additions to the federal dicamba label for 2021.
In a statement to Brownfield the department says they are working with the U.S. EPA, registrants, and stakeholders to formalize a June 20th cut-off date and an 85-degree temperature restriction in addition to the new federal label requirements. The department must go through a new process to have the regulations approved by the EPA. If approved, the application deadline and temperature restriction would be the same last year for Illinois farmers.
