fotokostic/Getty Images NO CHANGE: Missouri farmers should follow the federal label for spraying of dicamba over the top of dicamba-tolerant crops such as soybeans and cotton for the 2021 growing season. Missouri will not add more restrictions for applying dicamba to tolerant crops this year. While neighboring states such as Illinois and Arkansas are opting for tougher restrictions for use of dicamba herbicide products on dicamba-resistant soybean and cotton varieties, Missouri will toe the federal line when it comes to application rules. In October, EPA approved new label registrations for XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology and for Engenia herbicide. A third dicamba product, Tavium Plus VaporGrip Technology, received an extension of its current registration. All three of the newly registered product labels are scheduled to expire in 2025. ....

Stripling hails from Georgia, where Palmer amaranth started to devastate soybean and cotton fields in the mid-2000s. At that time, glyphosate-tolerant Roundup Ready technology still worked well in the Midwest. Before Roundup Ready, Georgia farmers managed weeds in cotton and soybeans with a mix of tillage and overlapping residual herbicides. “Roundup Ready was one of the biggest technologies since the Green Revolution, but it did have one bad side effect,” says Stripling. “It made us lazy.” ....
Dicamba is under fire. According to the National Pesticide Information Center, dicamba, a selective herbicide that farmers use to control invasive weeds, is present in more than 1,100 products sold in the U.S. In early June, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a final cancellation order for three dicamba products: Engenia, FeXapan, and Xtendimax with Vaporgrip Technology. This order left farmers and state department of agriculture agencies scrambling. These new regulations include label changes that will further restrict the use of dicamba applications. These products will automatically expire in December 2025, unless they are amended by the EPA. Secretary of the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Mike Beam, asked farmers about their thoughts during the KDA s year-end meeting. ....
