Some of the damage is from products other than dicamba. How much, I can't say, but I've got a soybean field next to a neighbor's milo field that displayed classic cupping with white tips on new-growth leaves for two sets of trifoliates. The drift pattern was obvious particle drift, extending about 100 yards into my field. He said he sprayed his milo with Huskie, and I see no reason to doubt him.

Now, those beans did grow out of the damage much quicker than the field that got vapor drift from the neighbor's corn field that was sprayed with Status, but I don't expect noticeable yield impact in either case. Beans are made in August here, and both fields will be completely grown out of the damage by next week. Not as much canopy in the drifted areas, but that's the way it goes.


Pictures are from Monday, showing the dicamba drifted beans starting to grow out of the damage and the same beans at the other end of the field, showing better canopy.
