BASF: Stewardship Critical for Dicamba Applications

VRAs, mobile apps, and adjuvants aim to ease volatility and/or physical drift.
The not-unexpected move to re-register dicamba for over-the-top use on soybeans and cotton speaks volumes about the huge challenges facing U.S. agriculture.
Petition requests a review of the decision by a panel of 11 judges from the Ninth Circuit instead of the three-judge panel that issued the previous decision.
Bayer will pay up to $400 million to resolve dicamba litigation and claims.
The settlement is the “right action at the right time for Bayer to bring a long period of uncertainty to an end,” said CEO Werner Baumann.
Late on Friday, Judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reached a decision to deny an emergency motion to immediately end over-the-top applications of dicamba.
With no alternative for weed management, “yield losses for soy and cotton could be as high as 50 percent.”
The grower coalition’s brief, filed June 16, makes a case for farmers caught in a highly frustrating and costly situation.
BASF said the Ninth Circuit’s decision has caused “immediate chaos among the agricultural community and threatens the livelihood of countless U.S. farmers.”
After a tumultuous three-plus years, dicamba application is no longer legal in the U.S.
EPA “substantially understated” risks of the herbicide, court says.
With delayed plantings/applications occurring during 2019, many weed analysts foresee plenty of potential trouble with herbicide-resistant varieties in 2020.
As registration deadline looms, EPA intends to work with state pesticide regulators on its review of new dicamba formulations.
All eyes are on Illinois to bring drift complaint numbers down. Meanwhile, pesticide applicators are the target of a new bill.
Just as the war on glyphosate came hurtling through the legal system, so now begin the dicamba lawsuits, attracting the public’s scornful eye along the way.
