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.
