PORTAGEVILLE, Mo. (DTN) -- Dicamba drift and damage are taking center stage in the Delta states this summer. Claims that illegal sprays of the herbicide drifted onto sensitive crops have turned into official regulatory complaints that are causing some states to consider tougher pesticide laws.
More than 130 people gathered at a special "Dicamba Crop Injury Forum" held at the Fisher Delta Research Center in Portageville on July 29 to sort out what has happened and why. University of Missouri weed scientist Kevin Bradley said the situation is especially tough since weed resistance has left farmers yearning for additional weed control tools. | |
