"US Court Ruling Shakes Up Dicamba Availability and EPA Approval Process"
TL;DR Summary
A federal court in Arizona has vacated the 2020 registrations of three dicamba products, including XtendiMax, Engenia, and Tavium, previously approved by the EPA for over-the-top applications on cotton and soybeans. This ruling leaves farmers without dicamba products for the upcoming growing season, pending action by the EPA. The court found the EPA to be in violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. The decision has raised concerns among farmers and industry stakeholders, as they await guidance from the EPA on the next steps.
