Dicamba re-registered for five more years
The EPA has issued a new registration label for dicamba herbicide over the top use. EPA’s administrator Andrew Wheeler released the decision during a stop in Georgia this afternoon.
Wheeler says an improved pH buffering agent will be required to be mixed to lower volatility of the products.
The National Cotton Council Chairman Kent Fountain says they appreciate EPA’s work on issuing a new registration label for dicamba, calling it a critically important weed control tool.
Fountain says the Council greatly appreciates EPA’s timely issuance of a new five-year label, saying the economic damage that would result from not being able to use dicamba herbicides would be tremendous.
