You'll be ok spraying it as long as you don't do anything stupid. Guys have been spraying dicamba and status in corn beside bean fields for years. The extendimax or engenia is basically not volitle. So you'd have to physically drift it to do damage.

If you drift you drift. I've yet to see anyone win a drift suit because they sprayed according to the label. I've never seen insurance reject a claim that was within reason either.


I disagree with extendimax not being volatile. In my opinion that whole Vapor Grip is B.S. and I speak from experience.
Sprayed a field of Ext. beans last year with Extendimax besides a field of tomatoes. Conditions were perfect, beans about 6 to 8 " high. Had several people witness off what and how we were doing the job and all agreed it was perfect. Wind was at 4mph away from tomatoes. 2 weeks later I got a phone call from the coop we spray for that there was an insurance claim on the tomatoes. Ended up 20 acres damaged, 12 ton per acre yield loss at $ 120 per tonne. Go figure.
I'm very hesitant to put that stuff in the tank ever again.


Why did you spray? I don't care how good you are or it is. Spraying any auxin right next to a commercial tomato field is borderline insane. And I've used 2,4-D and dicamba for 25 years. I've done some stupid shtuff in my life but even I wouldnt be that crazy. Little ole ladies garden tomatoes that you have to replant or buy is one thing. A freaking commercial field of tomatoes. No way.

I guess to me. Common sense says not worth it in that situation.
