A temporary restraining order has essentially tied growers' hands once again regarding use of dicamba in Arkansas at a critical time.
On May 24, Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chip Welch extended a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the Arkansas State Plant Board's 2021 emergency rule. The emergency rule made June 30 the last day for dicamba use on registered Arkansas crops. The extension of the restraining order was made at the request of plaintiffs who objected to the extended use period in the emergency rule.
