EPA Approves Dicamba Products With Safeguards

Dicamba

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler has announced EPA is approving new five-year registrations for two dicamba herbicide products and extending the registration of an additional dicamba product. All three registrations include new control measures to ensure these products can be used effectively while protecting the environment, including non-target plants, animals, and other crops not tolerant to dicamba.

EPA approved new registrations for two “over-the-top” dicamba products—XtendiMax with VaporGrip Technology and Engenia Herbicide—and extended the registration for an additional OTT dicamba product, Tavium Plus VaporGrip Technology. These registrations are only for use on DT cotton and soybeans and will expire in 2025, providing certainty to American agriculture for the upcoming growing season and beyond.
