NASHVILLE, TENN. (RFD NEWS) — The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced officially that the popular herbicide Dicamba will be available for over-the-top applications this year. Previous registrations had been vacated twice by federal courts in recent years.
The EPA says it will closely monitor the next two seasons, checking for reports of off-target damage and collecting environmental data.
After the 2026 and 2027 growing seasons, the agency will then decide on where to go from there. EPA officials say the registration could be pulled again if the protections are not working as planned.
