Confusion is Apparent with Court's Dicamba Ban

Consensus on how to manage weeds in dicamba-tolerant crops following a court ban on three dicamba herbicide products, Xtendimax, FeXapan, and Engenia, ranges from "business as usual" until EPA weighs in to "consult your attorney" before you sell, buy or apply the products.
Louisiana Extension recommends caution. "As of now, the EPA has not responded to the ruling," said Daniel O. Stephenson, IV, weed science specialist and research coordinator at the Dean Lee Research Station LSU AgCenter in Alexandria.
"Therefore, at the present time, the LSU AgCenter encourages producers to not utilize XtendiMax, Engenia, or FeXapan."
