Proposed changes to Arkansas dicamba rule

DFP Staff
Arkansas petitioners say they are hoping to see a rule change that will expand dicamba application times in their state, allowing them to better control Palmer amaranth.
State Plant Board votes to align dicamba regulations with federal label. Proposed changes moving forward to public comment period.
By a narrow 8-7 vote, the Arkansas Department of Agriculture’s State Plant Board chose to initiate the rulemaking process that could potentially allow Arkansas farmers and applicators to follow the federal label when using dicamba herbicide. 
Arkansas currently has the earliest dicamba spray cutoff date in the country at May 25. The proposed rule would allow the over-the-top spraying of Engenia, XtendiMax, and Tavium through June 30 on soybeans and through July 30 on cotton. The proposed rule will also require a pH buffering agent, also called a Volatility Reducing Agent, to be tank-mixed with dicamba, and will require a downwind buffer between 240 - 310 feet.
